Racing in Alabama

Alabama runs a year-round race calendar, so there’s almost always a race near you. The calendar is busiest in November, December, and April, with races most often held in Huntsville, Birmingham, Gadsden, and Trussville.

Races in Alabama range from Gulf Coast beach courses at the southern tip to the Appalachian foothills around Cheaha Mountain in the northeast, with rolling Black Belt prairie and Piedmont hills in between. Runners get flat coastal 5Ks, hilly trail routes near Talladega, and rolling hill country in the middle of the state.

Conditions vary widely by region across Alabama, so weather lives where it’s accurate — each race page shows its typical race-day high, low, and rain chance from NOAA climate normals for that venue and date.
