Event Overview
The LIT 5K Run, Walk, or Roll takes place in Memory Grove Park, Salt Lake City. This event is held in conjunction with APTA Mobility Week and is hosted by Latinos In Transit, a nonprofit organization focused on workforce development and leadership within the transit industry. The event serves to celebrate transit professionals and inspire interest in STEM careers.
The course features the trails of Memory Grove Park, providing participants with views of the surrounding mountains. Participants can choose between two distances:
- 5K
- 1 Miler
Technical Details
The 5K event is professionally chip-timed, with timing chips attached to each participant's race bib. Results are posted online after the conclusion of the event. The 1 Miler is an untimed option for those who prefer a more casual pace.
Participant Information
The event is open to transit professionals, conference attendees, students, and community members. Participants are encouraged to wear transit-themed attire, such as agency gear, safety vests, or STEM-themed clothing.
Awards are given to the top overall male and female finishers in the 5K race. A limited-edition commemorative medal is available for the first 100 participants to finish the 5K distance. Recognition may also be provided for the best transit-inspired outfit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
