Our fundraising and volunteering opportunities.

🌱 UVA Green Games x Club Running 🌱

UVA Green Games is a sustainability initiative that organizes competitions and volunteer opportunities to promote environmental stewardship and eco-friendly practices across Grounds. We’ll be teaming up with them at the UVA vs. FSU football game on Friday, Sept. 26th at 7pm.

We’ll be volunteering together from 7–10pm, helping UVA with its sustainability efforts during the game. Think of it as a team-building exercise, a chance to give back, and a fun way to hang out outside of running.

If you’re interested, please fill out this form: Volunteer Sign-Up. More details will be sent out as the game gets closer.

This is a great opportunity to bond with teammates, support UVA’s sustainability efforts, and make an impact on our community!

Each year, Club Running hosts philanthropy events that raise money for charities such as Girls on the Run, Special Olympics, and UVA Children's Hospital. Club members can get involved by registering to compete in the events or volunteering to help organize. The efforts of our volunteers play a crucial role in making each one such a tremendous success.
