Cal Poly Students to 'Run for Music' Feb. 7

The third annual “Run for Music” 5K/10K will take place at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 7, on campus to raise funds for Cal Poly’s instrumental ensembles.

The run will begin and conclude at the UU Plaza. Check-in and same-day registration will begin at 9 a.m. in the plaza, while musical ensembles present pre-race entertainment.

Online registration in advance is preferred; however, participants may also sign up on the day of the run for an additional cost. Registration fees range from $15 to $35 in advance and from $20 to $40 the day of the race. Registration fees cover the entry fee, post-race refreshments, race-day entertainment, and a T-shirt. Competitors will be eligible for prizes of gift bags donated by local sponsors.

Proceeds will go toward sponsoring Cal Poly’s spring chamber music series and purchasing new equipment for the bands.

Students in Iota Pi, the Cal Poly chapter of the national honorary band fraternity Kappa Kappa Psi, are organizing the event. The group supports Music Department ensembles, including the Mustang Marching Band, Wind Ensemble and Wind Orchestra.

The event is open to the public, and campus parking is free on weekends.
