The 4th Annual Flying Owls 5K
Thank You! The Fourth Annual Flying Owls 5k Fun Run was a huge success thanks to all of our participants, our sponsors and our volunteers. Please revisit this site soon for run results and prize pick up information.
The Flying Owls 5k promotes healthy active lifestyles by raising funds for student fitness on campus at Rice University and providing a non-competitive atmosphere for runners, joggers, and walkers.
We invite families, teams, students and more to come out for the Flying Owls 5k. There will be refreshments, entertainment and a great environment to get moving.
Prizes for the top three finishers overall (Male and Female) and age group prizes. Team Prizes for top team finisher by top 5 times.
Here's a preview of the race course (race course printable map).
