Tiger Run Makes Triumphant Return
More than 200 walkers and runners of all ages came together at Audubon Park recently
to support the Tiger Run 5K. This is the 37th Tiger Run in school history and marks
the event’s return after a five-year hiatus due to COVID.
The event raised $6,700 for the School of Medicine's charitable student-run organizations and interest groups, providing resources for community service projects and supplies at the student run clinics.
Tiger Run was organized by student race director Jayne Mora and faculty advisors Drs.
Michelle Moore and Amy Rinner-Clomburg.
“It was inspiring to see so many students, staff and faculty up bright and early, running under Audubon Park’s beautiful oak canopy in celebration of the vital services our student organizations bring to the community,” said Dr. Moore.

1. Connor MacKelvy, 18:46
2. Jack Grace, 19:32
3. Ben Aiken, 19:38
The overall women’s top finishers were:
