Kids First — Literally

The Auburn Mini-Mile, presented by the Auburn Running Company, is a kids fun run that puts children front and center — kicking off Auburn's Fourth of July celebration before anyone else takes the course. This event is held in partnership with KidsFirst, and proceeds from entry fees are donated directly to KidsFirst.

Dress for the Occasion

If the Fourth of July is your moment to go full red, white, and blue — this is your race. Costumes, flags, and festive gear are strongly encouraged.
