About the Event

NEWS FLASH FOR 2025! — FINISHER MEDALS (PLUS THE T-SHIRT!) FOR ALL RUNNERS!
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: Mark your calendars!  The Auburn Toys for Tots 5K/10K returns on Saturday, December 13th, held in coordination with the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program and the City of Auburn Department of Public Safety. Start the holiday season in a festive mood with a 5K, 10K or 1-Mile Fun Run!  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!
