Kappa Delta Shamrock Virtual 5k Run 2021

The Sigma Lambda chapter of Kappa Delta at Auburn University will host its 28th Annual Shamrock 5k Run to raise money for Prevent Child Abuse America and locally support Special Deliveries of Lee County. The Shamrock Project is a national Kappa Delta program, that both college and alumnae chapters support to raise money for national and local child abuse prevention organizations. Eighty percent of the proceeds will go to local agencies with the remaining twenty percent going to the National Committee for the Prevention of Child Abuse. The NCPCA will use donated funds to continue their efforts to increase nationwide public awareness of child abuse. In cooperation with Auburn University and in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19, Kappa Delta’s 5k Run will be virtual. This means that participants may run the race from any location of their choice, and they will have from Friday, February 26th to Sunday, February 28th to complete the race. 

Please take a moment to sign up for the race, donate, or visit the store to purchase a PR t-shirt to help support our cause! 

All online registrants receive a complimentary t-shirt with your registration with sizes ranging from S to 3XL. The complimentary t-shirt will ONLY be guaranteed to those who register before Sunday, February 14th at 11:59 pm. **

Race Registration Closes: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 at 11:59 P.M. 

Race Day Instructions: Please feel free to complete the 5k run anytime between February 26th and February 28th. The race should be completed from any location of your choice!

Race Packets: If you live in the Auburn area, race packets will be available during Packet Pick-Up on campus in Willow Hall in the Village Friday, February 26th from 12:00pm - 4:00pm. If you are picking up your packet in person, please make sure to wear your mask and socially distance from others at least 6 feet. Those of you who are not local, or are not comfortable coming into the chapter room, your race packets will be mailed to the shipping address you provide. 

Rewards: Since the race is virtual and runners will be submitting their times themselves, there will be no awards for top runners of age groups or overall.  

**If you register later than Wednesday, February 17th at 11:59 pm, it is not guaranteed that your race packet will be delivered to you before race day due to shipping delays. Participants who register later than this deadline will still receive their race packet, but it might not be prior to race day. 

Thank you so much for your cooperation with the adjustments made to Kappa Delta’s annual Shamrock 5k Run.
