About the Event

Join us for the 2nd UAB Undiagnosed Disease 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run! Whether you're a runner, walker, rucker, stroller-pusher, cyclist, or wheelchair racer, this inclusive event welcomes participants of all kinds. Our goal is to raise awareness for the UAB Undiagnosed Disease Program and to increase global knowledge about rare diseases. This event will bring the community together to support the search for answers for individuals living with rare and undiagnosed diseases. It’s more than just a race—it's a celebration of hope and discovery. 

Let’s help raise awareness, foster community, and support those with rare conditions. Mark your calendars, bring your friends and family, and come make a difference with us!

This race will be run with chipped bibs, so race results will be available after the race is complete.

About Birmingham

Scenic view of

Birmingham is the largest city in Alabama, and its cultural and economic nucleus. While it's best remembered as the site of protest, bombings, and other racial tumult during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, visitors to the Birmingham of today will find a pleasant green city of ridges, valleys, attractive views, and friendly, hospitable people.
