HAMMOND and WESTVILLE, Ind. — One of Purdue University Northwest’s (PNW) top campus traditions, the Pride Stride 5K color run/walk, makes a highly anticipated in-person return after going virtual in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The public is invited to participate in the Oct. 7 event, which features an approximately 3.1-mile course at PNW’s Westville campus, 1401 S. U.S. 421. This year marks the fifth running of the event.
