Falcon 5K Challenge
Did you know Falcons are the world’s fastest animals, able to dive at speeds of over 200 mph?
Show off your school spirit and join #TeamAlbertus for our Fall 2022/Spring 2023 Falcon 5K Challenge!
When the New Haven community sees Albertus involved in area events, it demonstrates our commitment to the four Dominican pillars - Study, Prayer, Community, and Service. Our presence provides hope and our contributions raise money for important causes such as providing healthcare to those in need, recognizing and honoring veterans and their families, and improving the quality of life for individuals who have overcome personal challenges.
Participation in Falcon 5k races can also add up for you! Running or walking in the race may count towards service hours, and get you some Albertus swag!
Albertus students: be sure to check your email for the promo code to use at checkout for free admission!
"Such a fun experience doing all these races! I plan on doing a run once a month now!"

Falcon 5K Races are for All Fitness Levels
Five kilometers equals 3.1 miles. At a typical walking pace, you can walk the course in 45 to 60 minutes.
With the nice weather of fall on the horizon, we want to encourage YOU to GET OFF THAT COUCH and participate in the Falcon 5k Challenge!
Post your recorded time on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram using the Hashtags: #Falcon5KChallenge
and #TeamAlbertus. You can also nominate your friends and family to participate, and
encourage them to post with our hashtags as well!
If you have completed your 5K, email marketing@albertus.edu your photo of completion rocking your Albertus Gear!
