As Homecoming week comes and goes, there is a lot going on at Samford University. There are alumni visiting with old classmates and attending the 175th Anniversary Ball. There are football players getting ready for their game against Mercer. There are students planning for a week full of activities. Beyond all of these there is one more event that you should add to your list on Nov. 12. Olivia Jarvis, a sophomore at Samford and member of AFROTC says "Bring your patriotic spirit and join us in the 5k Homecoming run".

AFROTC gives college students the opportunity to pursue a broad range of career fields including aviation related jobs, law, space operations, medicine, intelligence, computer systems, engineering and many more. It also provides different opportunities for men and women to serve.

The race will begin promptly at 8:00am on Nov. 12 at the Samford University Track / Soccer complex directly across the road from Samford University and will honor our nation's veterans and university alumni.

Registration costs $25.00 and participants are encouraged to wear their red, white and blue spirit wear.
