About the 2026 Auburn Toys for Tots 5K/10K
The race starts at an elementary school and is run in coordination with a Marine Corps toy drive, with runners encouraged to bring an unwrapped toy to donate at the start. Several distance options mean the morning draws a wide range of runners, from kids doing the short course to people putting in a solid effort on the longer route. The surrounding area is residential Auburn.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local frozen yogurt shop, with race-morning pickup available at the elementary school starting well before the first wave goes off. Parking is spread across the school lot, a playground across the street, and a lot near a nearby park, so there is usually somewhere to pull in.

The 2026 Auburn Toys for Tots 5K/10K has been held every year since at least 2016. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
