“While we are disappointed that we cannot gather for Diploma Dash this year, we also did not want our community to have to miss out on what has become an important, signature event,†said Steve Woodall ’11, association interim director. “Because the event is virtual, we are excited to be able to offer new race options that people can do safely in their own neighborhoods in San Antonio and beyond.â€
Sponsored in part by Credit Human, the virtual Diploma Dash gives alumni, faculty, staff, students, community members and dogs the opportunity to run, walk and even bike this year for a good cause. The traditional 5K is offered as well as a 1K kids fun run, a 25K bike ride and a 69K month-long option. …
