Run Like A Girl 5K - Ruston

Louisiana Tech University's Society of Women Engineers chapter is excited to host our sixth annual Run Like a Girl 5k on March 23rd, 2024. All proceeds from this event will be donated to 4 PAWS Rescue, USA in an effort to support the animal shelter in our local area. 

We met our goal last year to raise at least $2,000 for 4 PAWS Rescue and raise awareness of the importance of volunteering and/or considering adoption when looking for a family pet and would like to match that goal this year. We will be having an additional add-on in which it will allow participants to walk with a dog from the Rescue during the 5K for $5! The add-on can be purchased with or without a shirt in the Events section. Also feel free to come walk with your own dog (water bowls will be available throughout the race).

The 5k will begin and end at IESB (Integrated Engineering and Science Building) on Louisiana Tech's campus. Each participant that does the run/walk route will receive an official final time from a timing chip and a commemorative medal, and additional medals will be awarded to winners of the male runner and female runner in each age division.

Race packet pickup will be held on the morning of the race at 8:00 AM at the IESB Amphitheater on Louisiana Tech University's Campus. The race times will begin at 8:30 AM on March 23rd, 2024.
