Each year the Alumni Association hosts the Panther Prowl 5K Run/Walk (click link for more race details) with all proceeds going to support UWM student scholarships. This year Office of Undergraduate Research is putting together a team, The Running Experiments, and we want you to join us!

When and where is the race?

The event will be held on Saturday, October 12th at 10am. The race will start on campus in front of the Student Union with an after party in the Union Concourse.

Who can join?

Anyone is welcome to join including friends and families. There is a prize for largest team – let’s dream big and shoot for as many team members as possible!

How do you join?

During race registration, you will be asked if you want to join a team and will be able to select “The Running Experiments”. Make sure to select this option so that you are counted towards our team. You will also be asked if you want to donate, our team has a fundraiser by the same name. Register Here

What if I can’t run? 

No running necessary! This is a run/walk event and people of all levels are welcome.

What are the perks of joining The Running Experiments?

We will be giving our team members a shirt featuring our mascot Florence “Flo” the Flask.

We will let you know about shirt pick up times the week of the race and, if you are not local, we will mail you a shirt.

We are excited to see you on race day! Take photos of you and your friends in your team shirts and share them with us. You can follow and tag us on Instagram @our.uwm and use #OURGowiththeFlo to share your race day experience.
