12th Annual Yusuf Neville Hampton Homecoming 5K

THE YUSUF NEVILLE HAMPTON HOMECOMING 5K

The 5K will take place on Sunday, October 25th, at 10:00am and will conclude at 11:30am.

The 5K is intended to be a platform to celebrate the life and memory of a friend, classmate, and brother.

Why move your body after a Homecoming Weekend!?

Yusuf stressed the importance of being active and enjoying the gifts of exercise. Researchers have found that the endorphins released while running actually attach themselves to parts of the brain responsible for emotion. The more endorphins released, the stronger the feeling of euphoria. Running also releases serotonin, which is a natural mood lifter. So, in short, this is an opportunity to reset your body and mind -- a different type of spa, but self-care, nonetheless.

Why the Homecoming 5K?

To honor Yusuf's legacy by paying the gift of Hampton University forward.

Over the past 12 years, the 5K has been an annual occasion that focused primarily on wellbeing.

4 years ago, The Oh Let's Yusuf Foundation was founded and established the Hillside to Hampton Scholarship that benefits incoming freshmen.

We have awarded 3 recipients since our inaugural year in 2024. Our 26-27 scholarship recipient, Emory Fletcher will be in attendance to formally received his scholarship check.

Join us to fellowship, walk, run, or jog.

All proceeds from ticket sales will go to fund the scholarships for future recipients.

More Information to come.
