Tuesday, October 27, 2009 Third-annual Polar Bare Run to take place Nov. 10 CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- The third-annual Polar Bare Run, Walk and Roll, sponsored by the University of Northern Iowa Alumni Association and its student group CATS (Connecting Alumni to Students), will be held Tuesday, Nov. 10.
This event, a winter-wear drive for the Salvation Army, provides an opportunity for students, alumni and the community to give back to the Cedar Valley while participating in a fun mile-long on-campus walk, roll or run, according to Connie Hansen, UNI assistant director of outreach and engagement, Alumni Relations. Participants wear winter clothing that they wish to donate (new or slightly used coats, hats, mittens and scarves), and then shed it before beginning the run.
The race will begin and end at the UNI Alumni House, 1012 W. 23rd St., Cedar Falls. Check in is at 9 p.m. and the run will begin at 9:30 p.m. The event is free and prizes will be awarded. Hansen said teams from residence halls, student organizations, fraternities, sororities and groups of friends are welcome. Those unable to participate in the event but still wish to donate winter-wear items, may bring donations to the event or drop them off at the UNI Alumni House.
Registration is open and will run until the day of the event. Those who register by Friday, Oct. 30 will receive a free T-shirt. For more information or to register, visit www.unialum.org.
