Lace up your running shoes and join us for a Homecoming tradition with a new name! Formerly the Freddie and Frieda 5K, this fan-favorite event now honors legendary Falcon and Olympic gold medalist Dave Wottle ‘73, who captured the world’s attention with his iconic 800-meter victory in 1972. 

Start your Homecoming Weekend Saturday morning off at the BiG Breakfast! Catch up with former classmates, relax with your family and friends, connect with campus leadership and enjoy a laid-back breakfast to kick off the day.

A Homecoming favorite, Falconland brings families, alumni, and the community together for a day of hands-on activities, campus exploration and family-friendly fun. 

From family activities to campus traditions, Falconland brings the BGSU experience to life in a day full of discovery and fun.

Welcome home, Falcons! Stroll through our All-Alumni Celebration – a charming “neighborhood” in the heart of campus, where each tent along Decades Drive represents a different era of BGSU pride. Reconnect with classmates, flip through vintage yearbooks and relive the memories that made your Falcon days unforgettable.

Kick off game day at the BGSU Homecoming Tailgate, the ultimate pregame celebration filled with music, camaraderie and Falcon pride. Alumni, friends and families can gather at Tailgate Park to reconnect, relax and get ready for an exciting afternoon of football and Homecoming festivities.

Following our tailgating fun, get ready for an action-packed evening at The Doyt as the Falcons take on the Liberty Flames. From a high-energy halftime show to a fireworks finale, this game is more than just football – it’s a Homecoming tradition!

Enjoy a relaxing morning with local coffee favorites, coffee trucks and a sweet selection of fresh donuts as we say “see you later” to our Falcon family. It’s the perfect way to wrap up your Homecoming weekend – until we see you back at BGSU again!

Begin your final day of BGSU Homecoming the right way with a delicious, buffet-style brunch while hanging out with BGSU’s favorite mascots, Freddie and Frieda Falcon. Bring your friends and family for a fun, relaxed dining experience filled with photo ops, high fives and maybe even an autograph.
