Moove Your Hooves 5k : Davis, CA

Moove Your Hooves is the UC Davis Cross Country and Track and Field club's signature community fundraiser. The event is a 5K distance race through iconic sections of the UC Davis campus. The course is an out-and-back that starts at the Woody Wilson Track, winds through campus, and curves next to the arboretum before returning to the track.

Proceeds go to the club’s general fund to help cover dues, uniform, and travel costs for members. Community racers start in Wave 1 and receive a two minute head start on Wave 2. Wave 2 is composed of club members who run dressed as cows; racers who beat the cow wave are eligible for prizes from local businesses.

Prizes are also awarded by age category and often come from local sponsors such as Fleet Feet Sports and Davis Creamery. After the race, participants are offered fresh food including fruit, treats, recovery snacks, and beverages. Registration categories listed include standard 5K entry, 5K with donation, and 5K with shirt. The event location is A Street Intramural Field in Davis, California, and the event date is May 9, 2026.
