Get ready to Unleash the Spirit at the 10th Annual Cougars Unleashed Homecoming Run & Pancake Breakfast—part of SIUE’s Homecoming & Family Weekend! Choose from a 10K, 5K, or Fun Run—whether you’re a competitive runner or just in it for the pancakes, there’s something for everyone. Get a special $5 Discount for SIUE Alumni and Discounted Pricing for Current SIUE Students! SIUE is excited to offer a discounted registration rate exclusively for SIUE alumni and current students. It’s SIUE's way of saying thank you for being part of the Cougar community!

This signature event is open to alumni, students, faculty, staff, and the entire community. Even better—your participation helps support the SIUE Alumni Association Scholarship and Programs, which provide over $20,000 annually in scholarships to deserving students and deliver meaningful programming for alumni.

After you cross the finish line, stick around for a complimentary pancake breakfast from Chris Cakes and—for those 21 and older—a refreshing post-run beer from Global Brew!

Run. Support. Celebrate. Let’s Unleash the Spirit—together!
