Engineered to Run 5K
The Engineered to Run event is a 5 kilometer community run and walk organized by the Society of Women Engineers at the University of Michigan. The 27th Annual Fall Engineered to Run 5K takes place at the Grove on North Campus on October 10, 2026.
Proceeds from the event benefit University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, with funds directed to Child and Family Life. The event continues a tradition that began in Fall 1999 and typically attracts around 300 runners. Participation is open to University of Michigan students and the general public.
After the run there will be a prize drawing, a photo booth, and refreshments including water and light snacks. The event is presented as a community fundraiser and includes both running and walking options over the 5 kilometer course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
