2026 DPF 5K RUN/WALK

Lace up for the 6th Annual DPF 5K RUN/WALK, a rewarding 3.1-mile event taking place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in scenic Anniston, Alabama. This USATF-certified course promises a flat terrain, offering an excellent opportunity for runners and walkers to achieve personal bests while enjoying the city landscape in downtown Anniston, surrounding Zinn Park at 101 W. 14th Street.

Beyond the personal challenge, the DPF 5K stands out for its profound charitable mission. Organized by the Dee Pogue Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to youth mentorship, a portion of every registration directly supports deserving male high school seniors in Calhoun County as they pursue their college education. The race, which kicks off promptly at 8:00 AM CST, offers a vibrant community atmosphere where participants can contribute to a significant cause. For those looking to push their limits, there's even a special incentive: beat the standing course record of 18:20 to win $100. Typical race day conditions in Anniston for this time of year include highs around 90F and lows around 68F, with a 14% chance of precipitation.
