Colors for Children’s

Join us for the 4th Annual "Colors for Children's" 5k and Fun Run hosted by Auburn High School Key Club! Taking place on Saturday, March 28th, 2026, this exciting event is not only a chance to lace up your running shoes and hit the pavement but also an opportunity to support a wonderful cause. Benefiting the Children's Hospital of Alabama, every step you take helps make a difference in the lives of children in need. The race will unfold across Auburn High's campus and surrounding area, promising picturesque views and a sense of community spirit. For those looking for a lighter challenge, our 1-mile Fun Run is the perfect family-friendly activity. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, there's something for everyone at the "Colors for Children's" event.
