    Grab your family and friends and join us at Darden Towe Park for a Fun Run/Walk on February 8th at 10 AM! What a great way to enjoy our beautiful surroundings, support the Ronald McDonald House of Charlottesville, AND get a pair of red and white striped socks to keep your tootsies warm and look stylish long after the run is over! If you'd like to participate, but just can't make it out to Darden Towe, join in VIRTUALLY! Still support RMH and run/walk anywhere you'd like on Feb 8th (even if it is indoors, we won't tell ;))!

    After the race, join us at Random Row Brewing (608 Preston Ave., Charlottesville, VA 22903) and warm up over beer and pizza. Random Row will "Pour it Forward" and donate $2 from every draft beer and pizza sold during the event.

    Join Partners in Health Engage at UVA to raise money for Tuberculosis in Sierra Leone! Tuberculosis is a curable disease, yet every year millions of people die worldwide because they do not have access to treatment. In particular, Sierra Leone has been subject to a history of exploitation, leading to poor health outcomes to this day. Our club has pledged to raise $4500 this year to support PIH's tuberculosis programs in Sierra Leone. This will assist Partners in Health in supplying treatment courses for TB, chest x-rays for diagnosis, nutritional support for patients, among other things. If you are on board, come run (or jog, wog, or walk!) with us on 4/4 at 9 AM. We have tons of prizes for top finishers and raffle winners from local businesses, so we hope you will join us for a morning of fun fighting TB!

    ALL proceeds from this race will go to Partners in Health.

    Race info:

    Race is starting at Newcomb Hall. Please arrive by 8:30 to ensure adequate time for check-in of all runners. Prizes from local Charlottesville business sponsors will be available for age groups: 18-25, 26-40, >40, and include gift cards to breweries, yoga, shopping, food and more!

    Remote Area Medical (RAM) at UVA is excited to announce the fourth annual RAM @ UVA 5K on Sunday, March 30, 2025!

    RAM is a nonprofit organization that provides free healthcare to those in need through mobile clinics offering medical, dental, and vision services to underserved and uninsured individuals. Since it was founded in 1985, RAM’s Corps consists of more than 212,000 volunteers. Licensed dental, vision, and medical professionals at these clinics have treated more than 940,000 individuals, delivering more than $200 million worth of free care. More information about the organization can be found on their website, at https://www.ramusa.org/.

    As a chapter of the organization, our goal is to promote that mission and host a biennial free clinic in Fishersville, VA. This is a big dream, and we will need your help! We successfully hosted our inaugural clinic in November 2022, the first to be organized entirely by a collegiate chapter, where we provided over 500 patients with $250,000 in medical care. Our second clinic in April 2024 achieved similar success, serving over 400 patients over one weekend and providing the equivalent of $225,000 in free healthcare. The cost of hosting our own clinic is approximately $25,000, and we continue to work actively in our community to raise these funds. Whether you decide to participate in person or virtually, all proceeds from the race will go towards funding for our next clinic to help bring the mission of RAM closer to the Charlottesville community!

    All in-person participants will have their timing results available online after the race and will receive refreshments and a T-shirt (first 60 sign-ups) on race day while supplies last. The top three finishers will also receive a prize donated by local Charlottesville businesses. Bib and T-shirt pickup will begin at 12:30 pm on race day. Participants must start the 5K by 1:15 PM and finish no later than 2:30 PM.

    Price to register will increase after March 2, 2025 so make sure to sign up as soon as you can!

    See you on race day!
