The
University City 5K Run, formerly known as the Pipino Run, was founded by the
Nicholas P. Pipino Memorial Foundation. The Foundation was created by family,
friends, and volunteers seeking to stop senseless acts of violence and to
preserve their fond memories of Nick Pipino.
For the past
26 years, proceeds from the University City 5K Run have directly supported the
Nicholas P. Pipino Memorial Scholarship at Drexel University. Each year,
experienced runners and amateur weekend athletes take to the streets for the
University City 5K Run, benefiting the Nicholas P. Pipino Memorial Scholarship
for Drexel University students.
The run is
currently managed by Drexel University and Drexel alumni; students and
community members are encouraged to line the race route and help cheer on the
runners.
