Show your support for UAB Athletics and National Girls and Women in Sports Day, which celebrates the importance of fair play and working together for the promise of equal opportunities in sports, by jogging in the inaugural Ever Faithful 5K and Fun Run Jan. 27.
Beginning at Bartow Arena at 10:30 a.m., the Department of Athletics-hosted race will route north up 13th Street South, turn toward Regions Field, then loop through scenic Railroad Park and the downtown Rotary Trail. Water stops will be available along the way.
Once participants complete the loop, they can enjoy music and games and grab a bite from local food trucks such as Shindigs or City Bowls. UAB student-athletes also will be on-hand for a meet-and-greet event.
