Join us for a morning of movement and community as we kick off Homecoming Saturday with the "5k at the Factory" presented by Eastern Michigan Football. This exciting event will take place on Saturday, October 17th and give participants of all ages the chance to run/walk through Eastern Michigan's picturesque campus while crossing the finish line on the historic grey turf inside Rynearson Stadium. All proceeds directly support the growth and development of our student-athletes, including our senior leadership trip to Pikes Peak in Colorado, where players take on the challenge of hiking the 14,115-foot mountain together.
