From the Organizer
Fleet Feet Tuscaloosa turns another year older, and we are throwing a party you can run.
The Cake Mile is four laps around the shopping center. Before each lap, you eat a slice of cake. First to finish all four laps and all four slices wins. It is a little bit absurd and it is the most fun you will have on a Wednesday night in Tuscaloosa.
Not interested in cake at speed. Join the Birthday Easy Run instead. Two miles, conversational pace, no cake required. Both groups start at 6:00 PM and both groups finish in the same parking lot with music, a birthday spread, and the same shirt.
Every registered participant gets a HOKA Birthday Run shirt. Register by September 13 to guarantee your size.
Free to enter. Every pace welcome. Bring the family, bring your run club, bring an appetite.
