The Delta Upsilon Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma will be hosting its first-ever 5k event, 5K for Kappie! This event is being held in honor of our late sorority sister, Catherine Williams, who passed away on June 2nd, 2020 after a courageous 13-month battle with osteosarcoma. Catherine Williams was 18 years old, and a recent graduate of North Atlanta High School. She was admitted to and excited to attend the University of Georgia in the fall of 2020. In the week before her death, Catherine accepted an early bid and was initiated into the Delta Upsilon Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma as a double legacy.
All proceeds from this event will go to CURE Childhood Cancer, a non-profit organization whose mission is dedicated to conquering childhood cancer through funding targeted research while supporting patients and their families devastated by a childhood cancer diagnosis.
We look forward to this opportunity to celebrate the extraordinary life of Catherine Williams.
Register before March 7, 2022 to be guaranteed your choice of shirt size.
ALL WALKERS AND THOSE PUSHING STROLLERS ARE ASKED TO UTILIZE THE SIDEWALKS by UGA Police Department.
We are grateful to Rec Sports and the UGA Police Department for finding a solution to the scheduling conflict of events on Saturday at UGA. Because the course had to be adjusted to not have interference with our course, the distance of the course had to be shortened. It will now be approximately 2.4 miles instead of 3.1 miles.

EARLY PACKET PICK-UP
Because we have 700 people registered, it is highly recommended that you pick up your race bib and shirt at early packet pick-up tomorrow. We have to start the race promptly at 8:00 am on Saturday, and we do not want you to get stuck in a long line waiting on your race bib when the race starts.
See map and instructions below.
Packet Pick-Up and In-Person Registration Location:
Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority House
440 S Milledge Ave
Athens, GA 30605
Date and Time:
Friday, March 18, 2022
3:00 - 6:00 pm
The entrance is on the left side of the sorority house. Just as you come to the back parking lot, the first 3 rows will be open for you to park. As of now, it looks like a lot of rain and possible thunderstorms are predicted for Friday. If that is still the case when Friday "gets here", we will be inside. As you are looking at the back of the house, there is an entrance on the left side you can enter. If the weather clears up, we will be set up in the parking lot. You will exit the parking lot on the other side of the sorority house. We are excited to see so many of you in person. *** In-Person registration will be available. $35 per registration. ***
Parking, Restroooms, and Venue Location
We are directing everyone to park in the parking deck off of Smith Street...using the Smith Street Entrance. This will help minimize the use of the driveway that come in beside the venue area for safety of the runners and spectators. Walk to the bottom level and go out the Ruthorford Street entrance/exit. The venue will be to the left.
