RACE DAY ATTIRE

In addition to wearing your Team UM shirt to show your ’Canes pride, remember to wear comfortable clothing and shoes for the race. Race numbers must be clearly visible on the front of the torso during the race, displayed in full view, and may not be folded or cut in any way. Optional items to consider bringing include towels (large or small), bug spray, and a camera. Pack as lightly as you can, and leave personal belongings at the Team UM tent at your own risk.

The Team UM Corporate Run Theme is a Stronger U. Be sure to get creative and dress up as the strongest version of yourself. Employees are being encouraged to incorporate elements of their favorite superhero. For inspiration, please view our Corporate Run Video.

For more information visit www.miami.edu/corporateurn or contact the UM Team Captain, Edyna Garcia, via email at [email protected].
