Race Information
Join the Fun at the Annual Cougars Unleashed Homecoming Run & Pancake Breakfast. All Roads Lead Home to the Annual Cougars Unleashed Homecoming Run & Pancake Breakfast, part of SIUE’s Homecoming & Family Weekend, a commemoration of the Route 66 Centennial Celebration! Choose from a 10K, 5K, or Fun Run: whether you’re a competitive runner or just in it for the pancakes, there’s something for everyone. This signature event is open to alumni, students, faculty, staff, and the entire community. Even better, your participation helps support the SIUE Alumni Association Scholarship and Programs, which provide over $20,000 annually in scholarships to deserving students and deliver meaningful programming for alumni.
