OCCM UGA 5k

The OCCM UGA 5k is a charity fun run taking place in Athens, Georgia. This event is organized by the University of Georgia's chapter of the Orthodox Christian Campus Ministry. It is the inaugural edition of the race, which is designed to bring participants from various backgrounds together to support international humanitarian efforts.

The race follows a 5 km distance and is classified as a fun run. Participants gather at the N Oconee Access Rd location to complete the course. The event is open to individuals of different physical abilities and walking or running paces.

Proceeds from the event benefit the Anaphora Foundation, a community and camp located in Egypt. This foundation provides support to various global communities, including foreign refugees, individuals in war-torn cities, and children requiring shelter. The mission of the foundation is to foster a community that helps people heal and support one another, reflecting the meaning of "Anaphora," which translates to "carrying up."
