Auburn Classic Half Marathon & 10K

Saturday, March 5, 2016 • Auburn, AL • Course Map Note: The 2016 race has been cancelled due to permitting issues. With a fast course that takes runners over gentle hills through Auburn’s scenic bicycle trails and paths, the Auburn Classic Half Marathon is part of the Alabama State Half Marathon Championship and is run to benefit the American Cancer Society. More than 200 runners cross the finish line in this race each year, on an out-and-back course that starts and finishes at Auburn’s Agricultural Heritage Park and takes runners out past Chewalca State Park and Lake Wilmore Park and back, and also features stretches through Town Creek Park and the final few miles through the campus of Auburn University. The race also features stretches that run past some of Auburn’s best-known sites to college football fans, including Jordan Hare Stadium — the home of the university’s Auburn Tigers football team — and Heisman Drive, where you’ll get to run past the statues of Auburn legends like Bo Jackson, Cam Newton and Pat Sullivan. The event also features what race organizers call the Children’s Half Marathon, open to any interested kids who would like to complete a half-marathon over a period of many weeks. Kids are encouraged to start in the fall and run or walk about one mile per week. On the day of the race, the children who participate will run the last 0.6 miles of the half with that day’s runners and finish at the main finish line.
