Race History

The 4Y5K is a beloved UVA tradition that has historically occurred on the morning of the last home football game. The race is held in memory of Leslie Baltz, a UVA student who passed away due to high-risk drinking. The race aims to create a positive tradition where students can safely come together and make lasting memories.

We are excited to honor Leslie Baltz, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the UVA Leslie Baltz Art Study Fund. This year, in addition to supporting the Baltz Fund, we are proud to announce that a portion of the proceeds will be donated to ReadyKids Charlottesville, a local nonprofit dedicated to providing counseling, family support, and early learning opportunities to children and families in the Charlottesville area.
