Charger Pump & Run 5K
The Charger Pump & Run 5K takes place on February 27, 2027 on the UAH campus at the University Fitness Center, 500 John Wright Dr NW, Huntsville, AL 35805. The event is organized as part of University of Alabama homecoming activities and is open to friends, family, alumni, and current students.
The course is a USATF certified 5K. During packet pick-up on the days before the event and on race morning, participants may perform bench-press repetitions that reduce their official 5K finish time. Women use a 55 lb load and men use a 135 lb load; each successful repetition deducts five seconds from the finish time. Repetitions may continue until the participant fails or re-racks the bar.
Packet pickup occurs on Wednesday, February 24 and Thursday, February 25 at the University Fitness Center, on Friday, February 26 at Fleet Feet in Jones Valley, and on the event day at the University Fitness Center. Registration opens December 13, 2026 and closes February 23, 2027; the registration fee is $10.00. Snacks, water, and other refreshments will be available at the University Fitness Center. Awards will be presented at UAH Fraternity Sorority Row. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
