Why You Should Run the Beat Auburn Beat Hunger 5K on Sunday

We're only days away from the annual Beat Auburn Beat Hunger 5K Race! Race Coordinator Elizabeth Schlichting  dropped by the B101.7 studio to share an update and why you should go!

The idea of this race was born on the idea of having fun, while raising money for the cause. That cause, collecting food (or money to buy food) for the West Alabama Food Bank!

Annually, the BABH campaign is the primary source of stocking the bank's shelves. A tremendous resource to help our local neighbors in need through the year.

The theme for the 5K this year is "hats off!"  Take your hat off and show some crazy hair.  Like, bed hair after long night watch the Tide Roll!  Or maybe, tease it high with hair spray or go for bold colors!  If you need help, there will be a table set up before the race for this very thing, to give you CRAZY hair!

Registration is open now through the day of the race. I know some may be worried about the chance of rain. Well, looking at the forecast, the wet stuff should gone and lots of sunshine should fill the course around the University of Alabama campus!

The race is set for early afternoon on Sunday at 1 p.m.  This will give you plenty of time to sleep in, go to church, whatever you want to do in the morning.  Then, comes see us at the UA Rec. Center lower parking lot!

Top 5 reasons why you should go to this race:

1. The weather is supposed to be nice
2. The race course takes you on a tour of campus
3. Burn off all those calories from your Saturday tailgate party
4. Supports food drive to stock the West Alabama Food Bank
5. A chance for you to help us Beat Auburn!
