About 6 weeks left until the Toys for Tots races. Please don't wait to register. You can either print a form on this page and mail it, or you can register on the Active page, or if you live in the Auburn area you can stop by Big Dog fill out the registration and they will get the form to me.

October 20
7 more weeks until the race!
I have received a few more registrations, which is always exciting.
Please register early. Every year we order extra shirts and every year we run out. It is very difficult to know how many extra to order. If you register by November 20th I can guarantee a shirt. They will be long sleeve cotton shirts.
We are honoring the JROTC - thank you Auburn High School for helping with the race, and the Marines, the founders of the Toys for Tots organization. They were the inspiration for the design of the shirts.
Big Dog in Auburn started a couch to 5k program designed to get you ready for the 5k. If you are interested in joining please contact Linda at lc@bigdogrunning.com.
If you are not running or walking one of the races but would like to volunteer to help please contact me.

Sorry I have not been very active regarding the race. So much going on locally!
Exciting news - Dr. Bob McAlindon is again one of our sponsors for the race. He is so generous and a great doctor. Thank you!!!
EarthFare will again be our water and fruit provider for the finish line. Brooke Peace Harris is so kind to help, again, she is amazing.
We have been lucky enough to have lots of people offer to volunteer to help. We should have plenty of helpers to make sure you stay on the course.
My husband teaches at the Vet school at Auburn University and the local SCAVMA (Student Chapter of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Auburn University) have offered to send us some volunteers. We will also have Dr. Angarano and Lew on the course.
The JROTC from Auburn High school will also be helping on the course.
I am also hoping to have some marines on the course - this is not a sure thing yet.
Not confirmed yet, but I will try to have Aubie for the the 1 mile race. Will keep you posted.
I should have the graphic up soon.

Just a reminder - the route will be staring and ending at the Auburn High School. The Auburn JROTC will be helping the route. We are very excited to have the extra help!
Have a great week!

Good evening!
I have just posted the 5k and 10k routes if you click on the "important links" tab at the top of this page you will see them. There will be one loop for the 5k and the 10k will be a second loop of the same route.
I have also posted the printable registration forms. I created one for each race. If you have any problems loading any of the pages please let me know.
If you mail in your registration please make sure I receive it by November 20th. Every year I order extra shirts and every year we run out. I try to order extras but I never seem to be able to guess how many people will attend. If you can please register before November 20th I can make sure you will get a shirt.
We don't have the design finalized yet. I will post it as soon as we have it.
Have a great evening!
