From the Organizer
This is a 5K hosted on Saturday, August 29th, 2026 in Auburn beginning and ending in the Village and running all around Auburn University's campus. All proceeds go toward benefitting both organizations' philanthropies: the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the National Marrow Donor Program. At each kilometer mark, a different color powder will be thrown by volunteers onto the shirts of the runners, so wear white, and expect to be covered in color by the end of the race! A T-shirt is included with each registration and will be picked up with the race number at Packet Pick-Up at Farmhouse (522 W Thach Avenue) on August 27th or at Race Day Check-In. Please register by Wednesday, August 25th to ensure you have a bib made. Race-Day Registration cost will be $65 with no guarantee of a t-shirt.
