Lacing Up for a Cause: Meet Us at the Matt Brown Foundation Run, Walk & Roll 5K This Sunday!

The energy is building, the sneakers are laced, and the excitement at College Hype is officially through the roof. This Sunday, June 7th, we are incredibly proud to hit the pavement for a major milestone: the inaugural Matt Brown Foundation Run, Walk & Roll 5K in Norwood, MA!

As long-time partners handling the foundation's apparel, we wanted to go big for their very first official 5K road race. Here is a look at how College Hype is showing up to support this amazing community event, and how you can join in on the fun.

🏷️ Proud to be the Official Bib Sponsor

When you pick up your race packet this weekend, you’ll notice a familiar logo on your runner number. College Hype is honored to be the official Bib Sponsor for the event! Every single runner, walker, and roller crossing that starting line at Norwood High School will be carrying a piece of our team pride along with them.  

🏃‍♂️ Team College Hype is Hitting the Course

We aren’t just sponsoring the event from afar—we are getting in on the action! We have a dedicated squad of 11 runners from the College Hype family geared up and ready to tackle the scenic, rolling hills of the Norwood course.

Whether they are aiming for a personal best or just enjoying a brisk morning walk for a phenomenal cause, listen out for the cheers as Team College Hype crosses the finish line.

🎪 Visit the College Hype Tent for Free Swag!

If you’re attending the race as a participant or a spectator, make sure you come say hello! We will have our official College Hype tent fully set up on-site.

Stop by before or after the race to chat with the team and grab some free swag. We love connecting with our local community, and we want to make sure you walk away with some great gear to remember this special day.
