Join us Thanksgiving morning to work up an appetite for a
good cause in a true Charlottesville tradition. Unite with friends and family
to run (or walk!) the 5K course through Ednam Forest and raise money for
the University of Virginia Children's Hospital.
Registration will open on Monday, October 15th. Registration will close on November 16th or when we reach 1300 entrants, whichever comes first.
Due to the large number of participants, dogs are no longer permitted at this event.
The UVa Children's Hospital is a "hospital
without walls". While the Hospital comprises the Department of Pediatrics
at the University of Virginia Health Sciences Center, its services extend
across the Central Virginia community and beyond.
With your help, we're looking forward to making our largest donation ever to the UVa Children's Hospital. The UVa Children's Hospital has over 100,000 patient visits per year. It offers innovative technology coupled with compassionate treatment of the area's youth from birth throughout adolescence.
