1. It doesn’t matter if you’re made of pure speed or have the pace of a sloth, everyone gets a cupcake!

3. With support from local businesses, every participant has a chance to win a prize after they get their cupcake!
If you have a local business and are interested in providing raffle prizes, email cusr@champaignparks.org for more information.
4. Does your kiddo want to race, but 3.2 miles is too much running, walking, or rolling? CUSR also has a race just for them – CUSR Cupcake 100m Dash. After the Cupcake 5K has concluded, kids 10 years-old or younger can participate. Everyone gets a ribbon and, of course, a cupcake!
5. Ultimately, the most important win of this philanthropic event goes to the CUSR participants! All proceeds of the CUSR Cupcake 5K & 100m Dash benefit the CUSR Scholarship Fund. For some CUSR participants, the CUSR Scholarship Program is the only way they can have a safe place to go after school, compete on a sports team, or simply socialize with friends.
