The Cake Race, held by the Omicron Delta Kappa honor society, is held as a kickoff of Homecoming week at Auburn University. The longstanding Auburn tradition begins and ends in front of Katherine Cooper Cater Hall, and it takes participants on a five-kilometer route around Auburn's campus. The top five male and female winners of the Cake Race will receive cakes as prizes, and legend has it that the winner gets a kiss either from Miss Auburn or the SGA President!
