The BIPOC Outdoors Summit 5K, led by OEP in collaboration with Lance Woods, co-founder of WeRun313, is a signature event that promotes inclusivity, wellness, and outdoor engagement within the NMU community and beyond. This professionally timed race welcomes runners and walkers of all backgrounds and abilities, combining competitive elements like chip timing and awards with a strong focus on community, representation, and connection to the outdoors.

Come play Holi and celebrate the coming of Spring! 

Holi is the festival of colors, celebrated by Hindus around the world. Holi is played by throwing colored powder on family and friends. It marks the triumph of good over evil and uses play to challenge social norms. 

We will have colors, music, and food as long as supplies last. Wear light color clothing that you don't mind getting colorful! Everyone welcome! 

Weather dependent! If it is snowing or raining, we will reschedule!
