The first will raise funds for summer scholarships for undergraduate research. Co-sponsored by the Undergraduate Research Center and the Society of Women Engineers.

The event website declares, “Celebrate your creative genius and support undergraduate research!” — encouraging participants to come as their favorite geniuses, or to create costumes to show off individual creativity!

Here's another idea: Organize your friends to set a record for the most runners linked to complete a 5K (the record is 116).

The organizers said they'll ask people to join in creating a “pointillist finger painting” at the finish line, and the finished work will hang in the Undergraduate Research Center.

The event also includes a creativity fair featuring student clubs and other organizations presenting displays or activities.

Open to the public; all ages welcome.
