Live. Laugh. Run. 5K

The Pi Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi will be hosting its annual Sarah Anderson Live.Laugh.Run. 5K on March 29, 2025. Kappa Kappa Psi is a national honorary fraternity dedicated to serving college and university bands across the country.

In November of 2009, Sarah Anderson lost her life in a tragic car accident. Sarah was a sophomore studying to go to veterinarian school at Auburn University, a piccolo player in the Auburn University Marching Band (AUMB), and a brother of Kappa Kappa Psi.

In honor of her memory, the Pi chapter will be using all proceeds to fund the Sarah Anderson Memorial Scholarship, a scholarship that is granted to a deserving band member at the end of each fall semester. The recipient will be someone who best exhibits the qualities of our fraternity and who shares the same positive attitude and love for life that Sarah Anderson had.

Registration is $30 for the general public and $25 for ALL current students and AUMB alumni. Registration will increase by $5 starting March 1, but you must register by February 28 to be guaranteed a shirt. Refreshments will be given out after the race.

We will be reinstating the friendly team competition between the AUMB directors, Dr. Corey Spurlin (Director of Atheletic Bands) and Dr. Nikki Gross (Assistant Director of Athletic Bands). You can choose to run for TEAM Spurlin vs. TEAM Gross! The team with the fastest average time will be declared the winner of the team competition. Individual times will be recorded and provided to each participant as well. After the event, each of the teams will get a picture with their director as a memento. Teams will be decided the week of the race based on individual preference. Participants will be contacted in early March to specify their team preference. If you register on or after March 20, there is no guarantee you will be assigned to the team of your choice.
