Fallen Soldiers Run/Walk

Each fall, °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼ hosts the Fallen Soldiers 5K to raise money for the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼ Fallen Soldiers Scholarship Fund, which supports veterans and service members currently enrolled at Western. Before the race, a special program is held to honor our Fallen Soldiers for whom the scholarship was established and recognize the current scholarship recipients. This race typically brings in 400 - 500 participants to °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²ÊÀúÊ·¼Ç¼'s campus.
