Skylar's Run - Clean Water 5K

Lace up your running shoes for Skylar's Run - Clean Water 5K, an inspiring event taking place on Saturday, September 26, 2026, in Auburn, GA. This race offers a scenic start and finish at Little Mulberry Park's Fence Road Entrance, inviting participants to connect with nature while supporting a vital cause. Runners and walkers can choose between the chip-timed 5K run/walk, a certified Peachtree Qualifier, or the inclusive 0.5-mile "Walk & Roll" event. The "Walk & Roll" is uniquely led by race headliner Skylar Gwin and his father, Paul, on a paved, wheelchair and stroller accessible loop, embodying the event's belief that everyone can contribute to the clean water solution.

Skylar's Run is more than just a race; it's a movement with a profound impact. Proceeds directly fund sustainable water filters and hygiene training for vulnerable families in Kenya, bringing awareness that safe, clean water is a solvable problem. Past events have made a significant difference, raising over $14,000 in 2025 to provide 140 families with clean water filters in 2026. Participants can expect a rewarding race day experience, complete with a race t-shirt, a raffle ticket, and post-race refreshments. Medals are awarded to all "Walk & Roll" participants, while the 5K features medals for the top three finishers in each age/gender category and trophies for the overall top three male and female finishers.

With sign-in beginning at 7:15 AM and the 5K starting at 8:00 AM, runners will enjoy the crisp morning air before typical race day conditions reach highs around 79F and lows around 61F, with a low 13% chance of precipitation. Join Skylar's Run - Clean Water 5K to make an "IMPACT BEYOND THE FINISH LINE".
