University Recreation and the Arkansas Alumni Association will host the sixth annual Running of the Hogs 5k/10k on Saturday, March 11. This year will include a brand new 1-mile option: The Hog Jog. Hog Jog participants are encouraged to walk, jog or run. The event will include in-person and virtual options for all three races. Participants can register online now. 

Virtual participants will have the option to complete any route of their choosing, including the official race route found on Strava titled "Running of the Hogs," between March 11 and 19. Race signs will be placed at the start and finish line, as well as throughout the course from March 11 to 19  to help guide virtual racers through the course.  

All race participants will be required to sign a Running of the Hogs waiver. All participants will also receive a race box, which will include the official ROTH short-sleeve shirt, a race sticker as well as promotional materials from the race sponsors.
