About

The UNC Shac 5K in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, is scheduled for October 3, 2027: a single 5K open to runners and walkers, starting at 7:30 a.m. from the Campus Y courtyard at the university. It is organized by the UNC Student Health Action Coalition and celebrates the anniversary of its clinic.

Entry fees fund free health services for the most vulnerable people in the area; every participant receives a T-shirt, and prizes go to the top finishers in each age group. An early-morning start on campus in October usually brings good conditions for holding a strong pace all the way. For runners in training, a 5K like this works as a quality session built into the week, as long as you warm up properly before the start.
