Description

February 10-12, 2023

Birmingham's Premier Running Weekend has made its mark as one of the most hospitable and enjoyable race weekends in the country.  Athletes of all ages and running abilities are welcome to participate in one of our many weekend activities and events.  

 

Run or walk our beautiful half-marathon and marathon course through downtown Birmingham on Sunday and/or our family friendly Superhero 5K on Saturday.  After you cross the finish line on Sunday, celebrate your running achievements at our festive post race party with live music, Jim 'N Nick's Bar-B-Q, free beer and massages. Come Run Birmingham!! 

*Due to the upfront nature of event costs, we have a uniform policy of no refunds, transfers or deferrals to a future year.  We know that plans change and unexpected things come up, but we feel it is most fair to apply a uniform policy to all, instead of an arbitrary line of who merits a refund and who doesn't.  Thank you for your understanding.

*Participants will have the option to protect themselves from non-refundable registration expenses by purchasing event insurance. This offer is valid ONLY at the time of your registration for the event.

*I understand that there is NO race day packet pickup for the half-marathon.
