American University will host its 3rd annual "American Classic 5k: Race for Humanity" to benefit the American University Chapter of Habitat for Humanity on Saturday, October 16, 2004.

Team Runn'g Heads is a student running club and community service organization that promotes physical fitness in coordination with community service. Team Runn'g Heads continues to aid the American University community in the completion of President Benjamin Ladner's Strategic Plan, "Ideas into Action, Action into Service," in which President Ladner states, "I propose that we find new ways to validate this truth and to include in the educational experience of our students habits of fitness that integrate a sound mind with a sound body."

American University's Habitat for Humanity is also a student- run organization. Currently fundraising for "The Second House that AU Built," AU's chapter successfully completed its first project, "The House that AU Built," in the spring of 2002, providing Washington, DC with affordable low-income family housing. Students hope to conclude fundraising and begin constructing the "Second House" this spring.

This event is open to the public. American University is located at 4400 Massachusetts Avenue NW and registration opens at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 16th.
