MCG White Coat Dash 5K

The student doctors of MCG Run Club understand that health transcends the four walls of the clinic. The MCG White Coat Dash 5k is an annual event that aims to bring students, staff, faculty, alumni, and community members together to celebrate the amazing physical and mental health benefits hat being active brings.

Whether you are the everyday runner, first time 5k'er, or experienced walker, we are excited to invite you to join us to commemorate everyone striving to build healthier habits. Proceeds directly benefit the MCG Student Run Clinics. These are student doctors who are dedicated to improving the health of Augusta's underserved communities through providing free healthcare and helping patients live healthier lifestyles.
