2026 DPF 5K RUN/WALK

“Dee” Pogue Foundation (DPF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a premier youth led/youth driven mentorship program. DPF has a 100% high school to college transition rate (in other words, every high school student who has completed the program has entered college)!  Our organization focuses on S.T.E.M. education and is composed of young African American boys, ages 8-12. DPF’s mission is to develop adolescent boys into positive thinking young men through direct exposure and a 5-tier underpinning.

We welcome you to experience our flat terrain, USATF certified course surrounding Zinn Park at 101 W. 14th Street in Anniston Alabama.  A portion of the proceeds from our 5K will go to deserving male high school seniors, in Calhoun County, AL, who need a helping hand with pursuing their dream of earning a college degree.
