How about that UAB pride? 🔥 A record number of students participate in the third annual First-Year Student Run Out.

More than 500 first-year Blazers brought the energy and spirit to Protective Stadium, storming the field alongside the football team during UAB’s first game of the 2025 season. The Blazers football team won its season opener, defeating Alabama State 52-42.
