2026 Auburn Toys for Tots 5K/10K

CONTINUING IN 2026!

We’re thrilled to announce that we'll be featuring commemorative finisher medals for every 1-Mile, 5K, and 10K participant crossing the finish line! And don’t worry — the medal is in addition to the traditional long-sleeve commemorative race t-shirt! Every finisher will receive both a 2026 Toys for Tots medal AND the souvenir t-shirt that our runners know and love.

Event Information

• Date: Saturday, December 12th
• Location: 807 Wrights Mill Road, Auburn, AL

Importance of Donations

This year, Toys for Tots donations are more important than ever. The weak economy has left many families facing job losses, furloughs, or extended financial hardship - and every contribution helps bring hope and joy to local children this holiday season. By joining the Toys for Tots Race, you'll help bring our community together to share the true spirit of giving.
