If you can't make it for early packet pickup at Big Dog on Friday you can pickup your packet before the race on Saturday.  We will have volunteers at 6:30am to hand out packets and register runners.

It is ok for a friend or family member to pickup your packet.

Have a great day!

November 28th

Early packet pickup will be available all day Friday at Big Dog Running Company in Auburn (next to Chappy’s).

The races will be at Trinity Lutheran Church in Auburn (by Amsterdam café).  The 10k and 5k will start at 7:30am CST.  The 1 mile will begin at 9:00am CST.

The parking lot of the church will be reserved for volunteers and vendors.  Parking is available in the university parking lot on the corner of South College and Samford.

Please remember that part of the registration is a gift of a toy.  Do not wrap the toy.  Do not bring your toys to Big Dog.  Please bring them to the church on Saturday.

We have over 300 people registered already.  It should be a great day for a run!

Thank you for registering and please have fun.

If you have any questions please contact me.

A little more than a week, are you ready?
For those who have not registered you can still do so at Big Dog in Auburn or you can register on the day of the race.  Please be sure to show up a little early.  We will have people ready at 6:30 to start taking registrations.  Please note that "late" registration is $20 - it all goes to a good cause.
I had to put the shirt order in so if you are late I can't guarantee a shirt, sorry.
Have a great Thanksgiving.

November 18th

On-line registration is closed.
If you missed it you can still register at Big Dog or on the day of the race.
I can't guarantee a shirt if you have not already registered. 
Have a great Sunday!
See you soon.

November 15th

The couch to 5k is almost done and the group is looking great!  Very excited for everyone that stuck with it - GOOD JOB!

Please remember the last day for on-line registration for the races is this Saturday, November 17th.  You must be preregistered to be guaranteed a shirt.

Please also remember - part of your registration is a gift donation.  Please do not wrap the present.  We give all the presents to the Auburn Police Department.  They then take care of getting the presents to the children.

We are very grateful to all of our sponsors.  I have finally updated the list.

Only 2 weeks left!  YAHOO!

November 9th

Good news, Aubie will be at the 1 mile fun run.  Make sure to bring the kids and get lots of pictures.

The 1 mile fun run is $10 - this is if you would like your child to get a shirt. If you just want them to run the race and "have fun" there is no charge. Please either e-mail me or send me a message on Facebook.

Bikes and dogs are not allowed on the race course. This has to do with our liability insurance.

3 more weeks until the races!

Wow what a weekend! The registrations are really starting to come in. Thank you for registering early, it makes planning so much easier.

Please remember if you don't receive an e-mail from me I have not received your registration.

If you have not registered yet, online registration will end on November 17th on the Active web page. If you mail your registration please have it post marked by the 17th. 

If you were looking for some competition Michele Dean from Lee-Scott is recruiting the track team to run the race - they are fast!

Linda Christensen continues to work tirelessly on getting us sponsors. I will have the blog updated soon with the additional sponsors.

Big Dog was a great sponsor last year and they continue to do an awesome job. The Couch to 5k is going strong. We had over 50 people show up last night, IN THE RAIN!

Early packet pickup will be available Friday before the race.

It is getting really close, only 3 MORE WEEKS!

More to come soon.
