Come join BYU Athletics in celebrating our community with a 5K Fun Run and Heart Health Fair honoring BYU football legendary coach LaVell Edwards on Saturday, May 11. The event starts at 8 a.m. MDT at the Clarence F. Robison Track & Field Complex. 

A fun community and family event coordinated by BYU Athletics and Brigham Young University, the Edwards Memorial Heart & Sole 5K will include a variety of festivities for local and campus communities to come together and enjoy the day.  

The late Edwards' wife Patti will say a few words and pull the rope on the cannon to start the 5K run/walk. Among the other planned festivities taking place will be a Heart Health Fair put on by Intermountain Utah Valley Hospital, an obstacle course for children ages 3-12 organized by BYU student-athletes, food and prizes as well as autographs and photos with BYU athletics alumni and current athletes.
