Lace up your running shoes for the Kappa Delta Shamrock 5K, returning to Auburn, AL, on Saturday, February 7, 2026. This popular 5K race offers runners and walkers a chance to kick off their February with an energizing event, all while supporting a vital cause. Participants can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 59F and lows near 37F, and only an 18% chance of precipitation, providing a comfortable atmosphere for a brisk run or walk.

Now in its 33rd year, the Kappa Delta Shamrock 5K is a cherished tradition, organized by the Sigma Lambda chapter of Kappa Delta at Auburn University. This event is a key part of "The Shamrock Project," a national philanthropic initiative dedicated to preventing child abuse. Proceeds from the race directly benefit Prevent Child Abuse America and locally support Special Deliveries of Lee County, making every step count towards a healthier community. The race officially begins at 8 a.m., with the start and finish lines located at the corner of W. Thach and Wire Road, near the Sigma Nu fraternity house. Age group awards will be presented to celebrate runners' achievements.
