Our Purpose

One in every eight women is diagnosed with breast cancer. Join the sisters of Zeta Tau Alpha in our 24th annual 5K to raise funds for the UVa Breast Care Center and the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation. All proceeds will go towards the advancement of breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment.

Run for Life 5K 2020 Coronavirus Update

Hi all-

My name is Alexi Comella and I am ZTA's Run for Life 5K Director for 2020. My committee and I have been working hard for the past few months to make the 5K race this year just as incredible and fun as always, however, recent circumstances have changed things.

As I’m sure you know, due to coronavirus concerns, UVA has placed all classes online, is discouraging students from coming back to grounds after spring break, and is prohibiting university-sponsored events over 100 people. With these limitations in place, I found it difficult to find a path forward for the race. 

After talking with the executive board of my chapter, UVA Events, our local Charlottesville advisors, ZTA nationals, and then getting told by IM Sports who we rent space through that we cannot host our event, I have decided to cancel our race. This decision was not made lightly and I am incredibly disappointed that I had to make this decision.  I had hoped that we would be able to still host our event if UVA students returned to Charlottesville; however, it would be irresponsible to hope that everything will be okay, continue to hope that the race will go on, and then cancel the event last minute; leaving businesses, runners, and my chapter feeling cheated out of energy, money, and time spent dedicated to the event.

I am so disappointed that we will not be having a Run for Life 5K this year but I'm sure the Run for Life 5K 2021 will come back better than ever. Thank you all so much for supporting our race and please reach out to me at ac5db@virginia.edu if you have any questions.

Best,

Alexi Comella

ABOUT US

The Run for Life 5K has truly become a “town meets university” event  with people of all ages coming out to run or walk in honor, or memory, of friends and family who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. With  an average of 1,000 participants every year, we are able to bring the UVa community, as well as the Charlottesville community together to fight for a cause that is near and dear to our hearts. 

 


Join us in fighting the disease that affects 1 in 8 women. By advancing research, education, screening, and treatment, the ZTA Foundation works towards its mission to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease. Last year, we raised nearly $30,000. 50% of the funds raised were donated to the UVa Breast Care Center to help those affected in our community. 

 


Your participation is instrumental in both the continued success of this event and the fight against breast cancer.

To support us as a corporate sponsor, please email: mew2tr@virginia.edu.
