2025 Auburn Toys for Tots 5K/10K

🎉 Exciting News for 2025!

We’re thrilled to announce that for the first time ever, the Auburn Toys for Tots Run will feature 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 2025 Toys for Tots medal AND the souvenir t-shirt that our runners know and love.

📅 Event Information

• Date: Saturday, December 13th
• Location: Wrights Mill Road Elementary

All participants are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to help brighten the holidays for children in need. 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. Register online by December 1st to receive a souvenir festive t-shirt!
