Auburn Toys for Tots 5K/10K

Auburn Toys for Tots 5K/10K is held in Auburn, Alabama, on December 12, 2026, at Wrights Mill Road Elementary School. The morning opens with the 1-Mile at 8:00 a.m., followed by the 5K and 10K together at 8:30 a.m. As the name suggests, participants are encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys for children in need. Awards go to the top male and female finishers across several age groups, runners who register online in advance receive a souvenir shirt, water and electrolyte drinks are available along the course, and parking is provided nearby.

With three distances on offer, the event suits everyone from kids and walkers to runners looking for a solid December effort. The 10K is a good target if you have been running regularly and want to test your endurance, ideally after six to eight weeks that include a weekly longer run; the 5K is a friendly first race or a fast, short effort; and the 1-Mile makes an easy family warm-up before the main starts.
