World AIDS Day 5K & 1 Mile Walk

World AIDS Day 5K & 1 Mile Walk is held in Auburn, Alabama (Lee County), on November 14, 2026. Organized by the Unity Wellness Center, the event marks World AIDS Day and supports the fight against HIV. The 1-mile walk goes off first at 8:00 AM, followed by the timed 5K at 8:30 AM. Several registration options are available, and families are welcome: children and leashed pets are encouraged to come along.

The 5K is timed, with age-group awards, a raffle, and refreshments afterward, so it works both as a competitive outing and as a community morning. If you plan to race it, a few weeks of steady running with one weekly session of short, faster repeats will sharpen your legs for 3.1 miles. The untimed 1-mile walk is a relaxed option for anyone who wants to take part without training pressure, or for families with young kids. Either way, arrive early enough to collect your bib before the first start.
