UAB Veterans Day 5k Presented By Viva Health Race Information

<h5><strong>Race Details</strong></h5> <p>Join us on Saturday, November 8, 2025, for the 3rd Annual UAB Veterans Day 5K presented by Viva Health at Railroad Park — a meaningful community event dedicated to honoring those who have served and supporting the next generation of military-connected students.</p> <p>Since launching in 2023, this event has raised over $20,000 and brought together more than 1,500 participants and 200 volunteers in support of UAB veteran and dependent students. Thanks to this community’s generosity, we&#39;ve already distributed over $9,000 in direct relief to students in need — covering essentials like housing, books, and emergency expenses.</p> <p>This year, we’re continuing our mission with even greater purpose.</p> <p>Whether you&#39;re a runner, walker, rucker, stroller, or wheelchair racer — all are welcome. Lace up to celebrate the 107th anniversary of Armistice Day, and join UAB Veteran Services in continuing a proud tradition that began right here in Birmingham in 1947.</p> <p>Together, let’s show our veterans they are seen, valued, and supported — not just on Veterans Day, but every day.</p> <p><strong>Location</strong>: Railroad Park, 1600 1st Avenue South, Birmingham, AL 35233<br /><strong>Start Time:</strong> 8:00 AM<br /><strong>Date:</strong> Saturday, November 8, 2025<br /><strong>Swag:</strong> All 5K participants receive a race shirt and finisher medal<br /><strong>Timing:</strong> Professionally chip timed by The Right Time</p> <p><strong><span style="color:#000000">Race Route: <a href="https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/6242486116/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https:</a></span></strong><span style="color:#000000"><a href="https://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/6242486116/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">//www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/6242486116/</a></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="color:#000000">All 5K participants will receive a packet with a<b> t-shirt</b> and a <b>finisher medal</b>. </span></p> <h5><b><span style="color:#000000">Race Packet Pickup</span></b></h5> <p><strong>Early Pickup: </strong>Nov 4–7, 9 AM–4 PM &#64; UAB Hill Student Center, Suite 313<br /><strong>Race Day Pickup:</strong> Begins at 7:00 AM onsite</p> <p> </p> <h5><span style="color:rgb( 0 , 0 , 0 )"><b>Volunteer Opportunities</b></span><br />Want to support the cause behind the scenes?
