The Viking 5K is back!

September 10, 2025

Lace up your shoes, pump up those tires, grab your goggles - it's time to move, Viking style! The 2025 Viking 5K is back, and you've got two full weeks to walk, roll, jog, run, or even swim - all for a great cause (all proceeds go to student scholarships), and you have until Sunday, Sept. 21 to get your miles done. The best part? You call the shots.

Choose your own course, pick your perfect time - morning, night, or mid-day break. Go solo or rally your crew!

How it works:

  • Register for just $25-every dollar supports WWU student scholarships
  • Get your custom print-at-home race bib
  • Get moving! Walk, run, swim or crawl your 5K (3.1 miles) snap a photo, share it on social media and tag @WesternWashingtonUniversity and @WWU_alumni and you'll be entered for a bonus prize!
  • Submit your results via the RunSignUp page (timed or untimed) for another chance to win a prize.

PLUS, every participant will receive a 2025 commemorative Viking 5K T-shirt-perfect for showing off your Viking pride long after the race is over.

Let's make every step, roll, or stroke count. Are you in? Register here!
