NORD at UVA 5k
NORD at UVA 5k is scheduled for April 19, 2026, with an in-person gathering on the South Lawn at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA. The event offers two participation options: an In-Person 5K Run/Walk across UVA grounds and a Virtual 5K/Walk for participants who prefer to complete the distance remotely. Registration is open from January 29, 2026, through April 19, 2026, with a registration fee of $18.00.
The event is organized by the NORD at UVA student chapter, founded two years prior and focused on education and advocacy in the rare disease space. It is the chapter’s first fundraising 5k. All proceeds from this event will go toward NORD’s support of rare disease patients. NORD is a 501(c)(3) patient advocacy organization that works with more than 300 patient organization members to support identification, treatment, and cure efforts through education, advocacy, research, and patient services. The organization notes that over 25 million Americans have been diagnosed with rare diseases and that under 10% of these diseases have an FDA-approved treatment. The event’s stated goal is to raise funds to help support research and services for rare disease patients. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
