Ready. Set. Go! UC Law hosts fourth annual Bearcat Dash and Bash

Runners, walkers, family and friends are invited to participate in the fourth annual Bearcat Dash and Bash starting at 8:30 a.m., Sunday, Oct. 6, at the University of Cincinnati’s Nippert Stadium.  This Cincinnati Law tradition features several events including the signature 18.19K and 5K races. This year's event also marks the second year for the Future Bearcats Dash which will last 100 yards – for all those future UC Bearcats.

All races begin and end on UC’s campus, and participants will enjoy the sights and history of the campus while running. Runners will also get the chance to watch themselves cross the finish line on Nippert Stadium’s Jumbotron along with having their finisher’s photo taken.

Again this year, runners can team up for both the 5K and 18.19K races. Teams can raise money together and enjoy running together as a group in matching outfits or speeds.

The 18.19K begins at 8:30 a.m., the 5K begins at 9 a.m., and the Future Bearcats Dash begins at 10 a.m..

Prizes will be awarded on race day by age group and gender. All participants from the 18.19K and 5K will receive a free Under Armour microthread tech shirt with registration, and the custom commemorative finisher medals will be distributed in Nippert.

Runners and spectators are invited to celebrate at the Bash following the races in Nippert. The Bash will have live music, and food and drink for the whole family.  

Register online today on the event website, www.bearcatsdash.com. Online registration closes Oct. 6, shortly before the race. Runners can also register on race day up until 30 minutes before the start of the race near the starting line at Sigma Sigma Commons.

All proceeds from the event go towards the Ohio Innocence Project at Cincinnati Law and the University of Cincinnati’s Athletic Scholarship Fund.
