Please join us for our annual UGA HEROs Torch 5K on Sunday, November 9th, 2025! We'll kick things off with check-in at 8:30 AM, and the race will run from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Stick around right after for some well-deserved refreshments and prizes until 11:00 AM!

Each year, the UGA HEROs Torch 5k provides us with the opportunity to foster community, create lifelong memories, and make a lasting impact on our neighbors. We hope that you will take the opportunity to attend our event and join us in our mission to assist a group of very deserving children!

Runner bib pick up will take place at check-in (8:00 am) on Sunday morning. Additionally, the first 100 people to sign up will receive a UGA HEROs Torch 5K T-Shirt!

HEROs is a student-run organization at the University of Georgia that works to improve the quality of life for children in the state of Georgia infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS. Modern medicine allows kids affected or infected by HIV/AIDS to live long lives. HEROs takes it a step further to help these kids live healthy and successful lives.

Our goal is to show kids that no matter their situation, they’re valuable and worthy of love just like anyone else. We do this by organizing hundreds of students on campus, coordinating fundraising efforts, and working to forge relationships with corporate and community partners with a common goal in mind. Let's come together, run for a cause, and make a lasting impact for our kids!
