Purdue employees can save 50% on Boilermaker half-marathon, 5K through Friday

Purdue faculty and staff can save 50% on registration for the 15th annual Purdue Boilermaker Half-Marathon & 5K by registering by 11:59 p.m. ET Friday, Oct. 9. The event, which brings together more than 5,000 runners and walkers each year, will take place Saturday, Oct. 24.

Both the half-marathon and 5K start and finish outside Ross-Ade Stadium. No matter the course distance — 3.1 or 13.1 miles — participating offers employees an opportunity to get moving; connect with others; and support well-being through the physical health, behavioral health, social wellness and financial wellness pillars of Purdue’s Your Path Wellness Program.

Next steps     

The 50% discount will be applied automatically when faculty and staff register by Friday, Oct. 9, through the designated 5K or half marathon employee registration links.
