MCG 5K Run

MCG 5K Run
The tradition of the MCG 5K Run began in 1986 with the intention of promoting wellness of the faculty, staff, and students. The university also wanted to create a tradition that would involve the whole community. This photograph appeared in the Aesculapian, the college's yearbook from 1947 to 1996. A student committee named it after Aesculapius, the Greek god of healing, whose staff is the historical emblem of the medical profession.
