Men, women, and children begin running at the Groovin' in the Grove race.

The 2024 Groovin' in the Grove 5K Run/Walk is scheduled for Saturday, May 4, 2024. The Run/Walk is co-sponsored by the MWU Sports Medicine Club and the Student Association of Military Osteopathic Physicians & Surgeons (SAMOPS). The route runs through the entire Downers Grove campus, so participants can experience the sights of our campus as well as the nature that surrounds us.

All funds raised will be donated to Sharing Connections, a local non-profit that collects and provides furniture to people in need.

The Campus community and the public are invited to register for the 2024 Groovin' in the Grove 5K Run & Walk is now open. Limited spots are available, so please register early.
