Once again the Abbie DeLoach Foundation (ADF) is a proud sponsor of the annual True Blue 5K/Abbie’s Adventure Race, held in partnership with Georgia Southern University (GSU) Campus Recreation and Intramurals. This year the races will be held during the school’s homecoming weekend on Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023, starting at the Recreation Activity Center with a path going through the beautiful campus.
Registration fees start at $25. The Kiddie Run is free for children. The True Blue 5K race is also available virtually.
T-shirts will be available to the first 350 who register.
This year’s ADF contests will donate $1,000 to a GSU student organization, or the charity of its choice, that registers the largest number of participants. Anyone can register and list the organization they want to receive points towards the contest. You do not have to be a member of that organization to support.

About the Abbie DeLoach Foundation
The Abbie DeLoach Foundation (ADF) is named for Savannah, Georgia, native Abbie DeLoach, who was one of five Georgia Southern University nursing students tragically killed in a tractor-trailer collision on April 22, 2015. ADF was founded by Abbie’s father, Jimmy DeLoach Jr., in 2016 as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. ADF has proudly presented over $1.25 million in scholarships reflecting the qualities that exemplified her life — a love of nursing, education, athleticism and world missions.
ADF has awarded nearly 70 scholarships to student-athletes, nursing and kinesiology students, student service programs and for outreach abroad. In addition, ADF has built an international home for women in Abbie’s name, with $90,000 invested to stop the exploitation of women. The mission of the foundation is to continue Abbie’s legacy of selfless service to others, generosity, academic and athletic achievement, and compassion for all. It is headquartered in Savannah.
