The annual Bobcat Pounce: 5K Run, Walk, Stroll is an exciting event that brings together members of the community to support student scholarships at Montana State University’s College of Education, Health and Human Development. The event will be held on campus starting at 10am on a sunny Saturday morning in April, and all are invited to participate. The race starts and ends at MSU, with the check-in tables located underneath the walkway that connects the parking garage to Norm Asbjornson Hall. The event promises to be a fun-filled experience, with prizes for the top three overall finishers, as well as medals for the 0-9 age group. Participation is free, although registration is required. The registration fee is $25, with online registration available through midnight on Friday, April 25th, and in-person registration available from 9 to 9:30am on Saturday, April 26th. Long-sleeve Bobcat Pounce T-shirts will also be available for purchase at the event for $20, with all proceeds benefiting MSU student scholarship funds. The Bobcat Pounce is part of the “Spring into Spring 5K Trifecta” series, which includes three 5K races held throughout the spring. Runners who participate in all three races will be eligible for a grand prize for the lowest combined time and a prize selected by a random drawing. The event is supported by a generous donor, who has contributed to the “Spring into Spring 5K Trifecta” series. This year, the Bobcat Pounce will specifically support the General EHHD Scholarships Fund, which provides merit and need-based scholarships to students pursuing careers in education, counseling, physical therapy, and more. Throughout the event, participants will be eligible for various donated raffle prizes, making it a fun and rewarding experience for all involved. In addition to the exciting prizes and fun atmosphere, the Bobcat Pounce offers a great opportunity for participants to enjoy the beautiful campus scenery while staying active and healthy. **Registration and Logistics**
