2025 UNC SHAC 5K

UNC’s SHAC (Student Health Action Coalition) Clinic is the oldest student-run clinic in the nation, helping medically underserved populations in Chapel Hill and surrounding areas. Join us in celebrating the SHAC’s 58th anniversary at the SHAC 5K & Health Fair on Saturday, October 11th!

Last year, we had over 150 runners and walkers registered to support UNC's SHAC Clinic and so many amazing sponsors! 

100% of the proceeds will go towards SHAC’s free health services for our uninsured and underinsured neighbors in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Durham. Whether you sign up for the 5K or donate - your help and support is greatly appreciated!

The 5K starts and finishes at 7:30 am at the UNC Campus Y Courtyard located at 180 E Cameron Ave in Chapel Hill.  Free parking is available anywhere on campus.  Parking is also available on Franklin Street.
