About the Beat Bama Food Drive's 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run
This is a color run on the Auburn University campus, so expect to finish considerably less white than you started. The route has a water stop along the way, and refreshments are out at the finish. The race benefits the Food Bank of East Alabama, and runners are welcome to bring non-perishable food donations to the event.
Bringing canned goods or other shelf-stable items is encouraged rather than required, but the organizers are specific about what the food bank needs most: proteins, canned fish and vegetables, dry pasta, breakfast items, juice, and basic personal care products. It is a good thing to look up before race morning.

The Beat Bama Food Drive's 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run has been held every year since at least 2023. 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 Oct 25, 2026.
