From the Organizer
The Delta Sigma chapter of Kappa Delta at the University of South Alabama is proud to host its Second Annual Shamrock 5K (but this time a color run) to raise funds for Prevent Child Abuse America and Penelope’s House. The race will take place on Sunday, October 18th, 2026, from 3 PM to 5 PM, with check-in beginning at 2 PM at the SGA Pavilion. The course is USTAF certified (AL22032JE) and open to runners, walkers, and families of all ages. Eighty percent of proceeds from our event will stay local to support Penelope’s House, while the remaining twenty percent will benefit our national partner, Prevent Child Abuse America. We are so excited to see our campus and community come together in support of this incredible cause—and we can’t wait to watch this event grow in the years to come!
