The Run for Shelter 5K is a semiannual race/walk sponsored by Habitat for Humanity at UMD. The race runs from parking lot XX1 on campus and around Lake Artemesia. Runners come to stay fit, enjoy a beautiful morning, or just to meet new people and have fun while supporting a great cause. There are no age restrictions to participate, and people are welcome to sign up for the race in groups. All proceeds from the race go to Habitat for Humanity and its mission of ending poverty housing and homelessness.
