The 23rd Fall Frolic 5K fun run/walk is Saturday, Oct. 2.

Registration will run from 8 to 9:30 a.m. in the Toner Student Center with the race beginning at 10 a.m.

The annual event is free to SMU students, faculty and staff, but is open to the community as well for a fee of $8 (which includes a T-shirt). Typically close to 500 people participate; competitors of all levels (including walkers) are welcome.

Registration forms — as well as a complete weekend schedule — are available online at www.smumn.edu/familyweekend.

Family Weekend runs Oct. 1-3 and includes a full slate of activities for families of students and the SMU community. In previous years, as many as 1,000 visitors have come onto campus for Family Weekend music and theatre events, sporting events, the Fall Frolic, and other games and activities.
