Gridiron Trail Rush is a 5k trail run that takes you through an entry tunnel, creek, hills, mud pit, tires and a whole lot more with an end-zone finish line. And of course - it wouldn't be football without wearing your favorite college colors and a "post-game" party. Bring your family and friends to cheer you on, challenge your rivals, and challenge yourself to discover who is #1!!!
Have some fun -- get dirty -- and show everyone what a REAL FAN looks like! WAR EAGLE!!
There are two divisions:

* Tailgater division: A fun run challenge with commemorative shirt and later start time to tackle the course.

University Construction Update
Alumni Continuing Education Opportunity
This program offers a unique opportunity to join an "intergenerational conversation" between continuing education alumni and today's Auburn students on the most crucial political issues concerning Alabama, the United States, and the entire world community. Alumni will be able to audit the online course "Global Politics and Issues, POLI 1050" presented by the Alma Holladay Professor of Political Science, Dr. Ted Becker. Dr. Becker, who has authored 14 books, is a former recipient of the Undergraduate Teaching Excellence Award presented each year by the Auburn Alumni Association.
Alumni participants in this class will be able to watch live lectures in real time via streaming video, which will also be archived so it can be accessed by auditors any time. Since the auditors will be "virtual college students at Auburn," they will be using the same Blackboard online educational system today's Auburn student body uses. This will permit participants to have live electronic discussions about the required readings with an actual honors section, an online section of today's Auburn undergraduates, and the professor, any time, day or night.
