This was a celebration of the Jayhawk Spirit, of community and connection, and giving back.

Rock Chalk Run 2025: A Morning of Jayhawk Pride

The KU Edwards Campus was alive with excitement and a sense of community Oct. 5 when we welcomed approximately 450 runners, joggers, and walkers to campus for the third annual Rock Chalk Run supporting KUEC student scholarships.

The sun was shining, the band was jamming, and food trucks dished out delicious eats. Participants were eager to hit the trails for exercise, time with friends, and the opportunity to help current and future KU students thrive.

Baby Jay brought smiles to many faces with high-fives as people crossed the finish line.

It takes an army to put on an event like the Rock Chalk Run from volunteers, including community and student workers, to generous sponsors and vendors who supported the event. Thank you to all who participated, donated, volunteered, and cheered from the sidelines. Your support is making a real difference for KUEC students.
