Auburn-Opelika Just Held the 3rd Annual War Eagle Run Fest!

The 3rd Annual War Eagle Run Fest, presented by FRESHJUNKIE Racing in collaboration with Auburn-Opelika Tourism and Auburn University, was a resounding success this past weekend. Participants and supporters alike reveled in the opportunity to test their endurance and immerse themselves in the Auburn campus experience like never before, with options including a challenging half marathon or a spirited 5k. The event also featured the beloved 1-mile run for the Little Tigers, generously sponsored by Love 2 Run and Lynch Toyota of Auburn.

After crossing the finish line and receiving their well-deserved commemorative medals, attendees gathered outside the stadium for a vibrant post-race tailgate, complete with the signature music and food offerings that Auburn fans adore, with a delightful Cajun twist this year. Thanks to the support of sponsors like Auburn Hospitality, Powerade, Auburn CocaCola Bottling Company, Adams Beverages, Leaf Filter, and Alpha Lit, the War Eagle Run Fest was a memorable celebration of athleticism, community, and Auburn pride.

Whether staff, students, alumni, or simply passionate fans, everyone came together to make this event a true highlight of the year.
