The 4Y5K: Community of Care Race is a beloved tradition at the University of Virginia, held annually on the morning of the last home football game. Established in memory of Leslie Baltz, a fourth-year UVA student who passed away in 1997, the event aims to create positive tradition where for students can come together and make lasting memories. The 4Y5K fosters community spirit, while offering opportunities to learn about safer strategies and become a part of our Community of Care.In recent years, the event has taken on even greater significance. Following the tragic shooting in November 2022, which claimed the lives of three UVA football players—Lavel Davis Jr., Devin Chandler, and D’Sean Perry—the race incorporated new elements to honor these students and embrace a "community of care." Hence, the 4Y5K: Community of Care was born, emphasizing not just individual safety but also collective well-being and support within the UVA community.
