The UTRGV Recreation Center Dye Hard Orange 5K will take place at 8 a.m. Saturday at the Harlingen Clinical Education Building to promote wellness and tradition.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

University Recreation Center Program Coordinator Gilberto Lopez said the run aims to promote people to keep up with their health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is going to be our third-annual 5K run this year in Harlingen and it’s a color fun run,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cYou can take your kids, your family, your dogs, you can walk it, you can bike it, or whatever it is that you want to. We just host this 5K to kind of promote health and wellness and to get our UTRGV community out there and stay healthy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Clinical rehabilitation counseling graduate student Mathew Huerta said he will be at the event with his family and hopes to enjoy the outside view while running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI’m actually excited since I know we’re now in the generation of prioritizing mental well-being and physical fitness,\u201d Huerta said. \u201cI’m excited to meet other people. I’m taking it like a networking event, but also like a physical benefit for myself and for my family.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lopez said he encourages people to bring attire they don\u2019t mind getting dirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe encourage folks to bring some clothes that they don’t mind getting dirty because they are going to be spraying paint on them, but the paint does wear off [since] it is cornstarch,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lopez said students can sign up using several different ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey can go to our utrgv.edu\/urec [website] and they can sign up through there with their student email,\u201d he said. \u201cWe will have [the] day of registration.\u201d \u201cThey have registration from 7 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. and it\u2019s free for students. We do have a fee for faculty and staff, which is $20.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To register, visit the UREC website<\/a>. To cheer on participants, visit ez.utrgv.edu<\/a> to sign up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
