5k Run

Zeta Tau Alpha’s chapter at the University of Virginia has hosted our annual Run for Life 5K in Charlottesville, Virginia every year for the past 28 years. Our race benefits the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation to fund scholarships, educational programming, leadership development and our fight against breast cancer, which includes our partnerships with Bright Pink, the NFL, the American Cancer Society, and locally with the UVA Breast Care Center. In years past, we have attracted approximately 1000 participants and raised nearly $30,000 for breast cancer each year. This race means so much to our chapter members, UVA, and the Charlottesville community.

Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the United States. In order to continue to raise awareness for the significance of this disease, inspire hope for a cure, and maintain our education efforts, we will be hosting this year's race at Madison Bowl (adjacent to UVA Grounds, located between Rugby Rd and Madison Ln) on April 12th.

If you're not able to make it in person we invite you to run the race in your hometown. Simply upload your times on this website and you will be ranked on the leaderboard.

    It's back!

    Women of all ages* are invited to participate in the Charlottesville Track Club (CTC) Women's Four Miler Training Program.

    For the second year in a row, this program is proudly presented by Women in Motion Physical Therapy and Wellness and sponsored by CTC and Women in Motion. Women in Motion is a specialty rehab clinic that provides physical therapy, occupational therapy, and IBCLC lactation services. They have specializations in orthopedics, obstetrics, pelvic health, oncology, and breast health, treating all genders through all phases of life. In addition to sponsoring the Women's Four Miler training program, they are also actively involved in national post-professional education and medical mission trips and are committed to doing monthly community outreach in central Virginia!

    The Women in Motion team is honored to lead this training program on a volunteer basis, with 100% of the net proceeds from registration going to the UVA Breast Care Center!

    Join us for six consecutive Saturdays - from July 18th to August 22nd - of group training and talks by experts on a variety of women's health topics.

    In order to keep the program manageable and enjoyable for everyone, we will be limiting it to the first 75 registrants. However, we would be happy to make the weekly training plans available to anyone interested in a virtual training program. If the in-person version is full, you will be redirected to the virtual. You may also opt-in to the virtual program if that's your preference. Details will be sent to all participants via email.

    Program goals include:

    • providing a professionally designed training program tailored to your goals and experience

    • building a sense of community among both participants and volunteers

    • empowering new runners and walkers

    • helping you safely transition back into running/walking after time away

    • exposing you to information on women's health issues

    • answering any general questions you have about running/walking four miles, as well as specific questions about the Women's Four Miler

    • getting you to the Women's Four Miler starting line on September 5th feeling healthy and confident.

    You may attend any or all sessions. Walkers and runners of any level are welcome. No experience necessary!

    *Children aged 14 and under are welcome but must train together with an adult.

    Greetings, Four Miler friends!

    The 43rd annual Charlottesville Women's Four Miler will be held at Foxfield on Saturday, August 30th, 2025. This much-loved community event began in 1983 and, since then, has grown to become the largest women's-only race in Virginia while raising over 4.2 million dollars for the UVA Breast Care Center. We hope you will join in this fun, challenging, and deeply meaningful local tradition. Run or walk the beautiful countryside course, or participate virtually from anywhere.

    All proceeds from registration fees go directly to the UVA Breast Care Center and we strongly encourage you to fundraise beyond this.

    A special thanks for Foxfield for all the amazing support over all the years, and to the hundreds of local sponsors and volunteers who make this event possible. We would like to acknowledge the Charlottesville Track Club (CTC) for their years of support for this and many other local, not-for-profit events. Please consider becoming a member of the CTC here and follow their website and social media to stay current on upcoming events!

    VIRTUAL OPTION: We understand it if you can’t make it to Foxfield, especially if you're traveling for the Labor Day holiday or live out of town. We’d still love to have you be a part of this special fundraising event, so please feel free to run or walk a four-mile course of your choosing close to home.
