Green Fund 5K
Project Summary:
The Green Fund 5k represents an innovative campus initiative aimed at boosting student involvement and spreading widespread environmental awareness across the university. Led by a dedicated team of students, this project introduces the Green Fund’s first-ever virtual 5k race. Participants enjoy the flexibility to complete the distance on their own schedules and along their preferred routes. After finishing the run, individuals submit a GPX file to verify their achievement and, in return, receive custom promotional items such as t-shirts and stickers. These rewards serve a dual purpose: celebrating healthy physical habits while functioning as a highly visible public outreach tool to market Green NAU. By bridging personal well-being with environmental consciousness, the event inspires broader participation in future Climate Action Plan endeavors and cultivates a robust culture of sustainability.
