2026 DPF 5K RUN/WALK

About the Event

“Dee” Pogue Foundation (DPF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a premier youth led/youth driven mentorship program. DPF has a 100% high school to college transition rate (in other words, every high school student who has completed the program has entered college)! Our organization focuses on S.T.E.M. education and is composed of young African American boys, ages 8-12. DPF’s mission is to develop adolescent boys into positive thinking young men through direct exposure and a 5-tier underpinning.

The 6TH ANNUAL DPF 5K RUN/WALK is scheduled to take place on SATURDAY, JUNE 20TH 2026 @ 8:00AM CST. We welcome you to experience our flat terrain, USATF certified course surrounding Zinn Park at 101 W. 14th Street in Anniston Alabama.
