Freshmen Run

Description

One of the most cherished WCU traditions, the Freshmen Run allows first-year students to show their Catamount Pride at the first home football game.  Students are encouraged to join the Student Affairs staff in Ramsey Main Arena at 4:00 p.m. before the game vs. Newberry College.  In preparation for the “run”, students will socialize with peers, dance, enjoy refreshments, and hear from inspirational Catamounts (including Coach Speir).  In addition, students who participate in the Freshmen Run will receive a one-of-a-kind t-shirt.  Participants will then lead the Catamount football team onto the field and help energize them to get their first win of the season!  Accommodations will be available for students with mobility limitations.  At the end of the game, the crowd will be entertained by a fireworks display.  This is definitely a “don’t miss” opportunity for first-year students.
