Legacy League to host 5K for Samford scholarships

The third annual Samford Legacy League’s Sunset 5K for Scholarships is set for Oct. 25, rain or shine. 

The event began three years ago to raise funds for scholarships for Samford University students with financial need. Last year’s event raised more that $4,500 for the scholarship endowment.

This year, the event will feature a 5K and 1-mile fun run. The run will start at 4 p.m. in the Samford Track and Soccer Stadium and will include part of the Lakeshore Greenway. The fun run will begin at 4:45 p.m. Participants who register on or before Oct. 18 are guaranteed a T-shirt. All 5K participants will receive a post-race Full Moon Bar-B-Q dinner. Additional meals will also be available for purchase. 

Early registration for the 5K is $25 and $20 for anyone with a Samford ID. After Oct. 18, registration will be $30 and $25 for anyone with a Samford ID. The fun run will be $10. This year, captains of teams with ten or more members will be provided with free registration. To register as a team captain, email legacyleague@samford.edu or call 726-4065.
