What a way to open the new UCC Track & Field Complex! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

We couldn’t have asked for a more spectacular day as our community came together Saturday to celebrate this exciting new chapter for UCC. The new track was already in action, welcoming high school cross-country athletes from across Oregon to compete in the Riverhawk 5K, along with runners, families, alumni and friends from throughout our community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, cheered on the athletes and helped make the grand opening such a memorable celebration. We loved seeing this new facility filled with people and doing exactly what it was built to do — bring our community together.

A track is more than lanes and finish lines. It's a place where goals are set, records are broken, and futures are built. 🏃💚

Their investment in UCC students, student-athletes, and the community will create opportunities for generations to come.

🎉 Join us on August 29 from 8:00–11:00 a.m. as we celebrate the grand opening of this incredible complex!
