SLA AnyWay 5k 2025

🏃‍♂️ Welcome to SLA AnyWay 5k 2025

Welcome to the second annual SLA AnyWay 5k! Started as a virtual race in 2021 by SLA alumni Ethan Chen, the AnyWay 5k was a way to help spread his passion for running with the SLA community. We are continuing his legacy by holding an in-person 5k in addition to the virtual event!
