This year’s theme centers around migrant youth and the unique contexts in which they find themselves, along with their specific challenges and opportunities. \u201cBorders\u201d can take many forms — from physical boundaries that distinguish one nation-state from another to socio-cultural boundaries that immigrant youth must navigate each day at school and in the neighborhoods where they live.\u00a0

It’s not your average 10k. After the pandemic prevented it from happening for a few years, The\u00a0Citadel Bulldog Challenge<\/a> is back.
The Bulldog Challenge\u00a0is a unique, nationally-known endurance race that borrows from all facets of the U.S. Marine Corps ROTC training exercises. The race stretches from The Citadel campus all the way down to the MUSC parking garage and the sand volleyball courts. Teams of competitors cross obstacles like tire flips, a simulated casualty evacuation, a mud pit and much more.
The race, organized by the Semper Fi Society at The Citadel, gives active duty service members, ROTC units from across the country, first responders, cadets, students and anyone else the chance to come together for a friendly but grueling competition. Funds raised by the Bulldog Challenge support annual scholarships for cadets or active duty Marines within the college\u2019s Naval ROTC Unit, as well as funding time-honored traditions like Mess Night and the Marine Corps Birthday Ball.
This is the second year runners have the option to run the race with a two-person team, as well as the traditional four-person team.
