There will also be a 1 mile run for the Little Tigers presented by Allen Turner Automotive.  After gathering your commemorative medal, join us outside the stadium for the post-race tailgate and enjoy the music and food that Auburn fans have come to love. Whether you are staff, student, alumni or just a fan, join us and be a part of the War Eagle Run Fest.
