UGA Army ROTC hosts memorial 5K on March 21

A group of runners start a 5K with Hairy Dawg in the middle.

The UGA Army ROTC will host its 20th annual memorial 5K on March 21.

Each year, the UGA Army ROTC hosts a 5K to honor the memory of Lt. Ashley Henderson-Huff, Lt. Noah Harris and Cpl. Joshua Reeves and their sacrifice to this country. 

This year, a part of the proceeds will be donated to the Ashley Henderson-Huff Memorial Scholarship for Courage and Patriotism sponsored by her sorority, Sigma Kappa.

In addition to the race activities, attendees will be able to meet a few adoptable animals from the Madison-Oglethorpe Animal Shelter. MOAS is a nonprofit organization focused on saving as many pets as possible while reducing the unwanted pet population through low-cost spay and neuter clinics. Feel free to bring a donation(cleaning supplies, kitty litter, dog/cat/puppy/kitten food, trash bags, laundry detergent, etc.) to the 5K. Current adoptable pets can be viewed at https://www.moaspets.com/adoptionapp.

Registration for the 5K is open through March 18 at https://www.active.com/athens-ga/running/distance-running-races/uga-army-rotc-bulldog-battalion-memorial-5k-2026.

All participants that register before March 1 will receive a race day T-shirt.

Check-in will begin at 8 a.m. at the E23 College Station park and ride lot.
