Race Details
Join us on Saturday, November 14, 2026, for the 4th 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.
Since launching in 2023, this event has raised over $33,000 and brought together more than 1,800 participants and 200 volunteers in support of UAB veteran and dependent students. Thanks to this community's generosity, we've already distributed over $9,000 in direct relief to students in need — covering essentials like housing, books, and emergency expenses.
This year, we're continuing our mission with even greater purpose.
Whether you're a runner, walker, rucker, stroller, or wheelchair racer — all are welcome. Lace up to celebrate the 108th anniversary of Armistice Day, and join UAB Veteran Services in continuing a proud tradition that began right here in Birmingham in 1947.
Together, let's show our veterans they are seen, valued, and supported — not just on Veterans Day, but every day.
