Habitat for Humanity at UVA, part of Habitat for Humanity International, works to raise money to build houses for those who otherwise would not be able to afford them. All families that receive a house are required to put in sweat equity hours as well as pay an interest free mortgage.
Many students volunteer each weekend to work on the houses.
A portion of the proceeds from this race will go toward that goal. An organization of University members who meet to enjoy a good run. Runs are organized based on ability and distance. The Road Runners provide a group of runners with whom you can enjoy your run. Running in a group provides safety, fellowship and makes you responsible to come out and run.
