Announcements
- Run4Rowan5K 2024
- In 2021, 2022, and 2023, the RowanSOM Team won awards for the highest number of race registrants. In 2024, I hope we can keep that tradition going with the Rowan-Virtua SOM Team. As a runner and a first-generation student, I’m excited about the upcoming Run for Rowan 5k (onsite or virtual). I’ve created a Rowan-Virtua SOM Team on the registration website and hope you will join me. Please note that our team consists of runners, joggers, walkers, strollers, etc. - All are welcome.
