2025 Homecoming Race
The 45th annual CSU Homecoming 5K is scheduled for Saturday, October 18, 2025. This cherished tradition invites Rams of all ages and abilities to unite for a morning of fitness, fun, and school spirit. Participants can choose between the in-person race on campus or join virtually from anywhere in the world.
Proceeds from the 2025 race will continue to support the Alonso Quijano Research Scholars program, providing financial assistance and professional development opportunities for up to 10 students annually.
Follow our social media channels to stay tuned for more updates and registration details throughout the summer semester, and be on the lookout for the relaunch of our official store. We look forward to seeing you on the Oval this fall!

For our youngest Rams! Kids Fun Run
Join us for the Kids Fun Run starting at 9 a.m. on the Oval! Cam the Ram will welcome the young runners and start the Kids Fun Run. Children will run one full lap around the Oval and earn a Homecoming ribbon as they pass through the finish line. Come help us cheer on our young runners after you have completed the race!
This year, we are excited to support Alonso Quijano Research Scholars
The 2025 Homecoming 5K proceeds will support up to 10 Alonso Quijano Research Scholars per year to provide hands-on training research labs, outreach programs, and academic support roles at CSU or a nonprofit entity that we partner with. One benefit is to allow financially vulnerable students who need paid employment to support their education to have a job that accentuates their academic career rather than taking time away from it. The goal is to provide students with advanced skills that will set them apart when entering the next phase of their professional journey.
2024 Homecoming Race Thank you to our 2024 sponsors
The Homecoming 5K Race is a community event, and we couldn’t do it without our dedicated community sponsors. We are honored to have sponsorships from community members, alumni, local businesses, and corporations. Local sponsorships are an integral part of our ability to bring this event to life every year and make a tremendous impact on our beneficiary program.
Thank you again to our official 2024 sponsors. Your donations will make a difference for the 2025 5K beneficiary – the Alonso Quijano Research Scholars. We are so grateful for your continual support.
