UAB Veterans Day 5K
Honor those who have served this Veteran’s Day by participating your way. Runners, walkers, ruckers, strollers, and wheelchair racers all are welcome! Presented by UAB Veteran Services, this inaugural event directly benefits the UAB Veteran Relief Fund. This award aids veteran and dependent students who may need help purchasing books, finding housing, seeking medical care, and much more.
2023 marks the 105th anniversary of Armistice Day, later named Veterans Day, marking the end of WWII. We invite you to be a part of this event to help us honor our veterans and support the UAB student veteran population.
