The inaugural Classic 5K presented by Train & Burn Fitness Studio, will be held on Saturday October 24, 2026, 7am (9am-5K Start) at History Park 1700 4th Ave North, Birmingham, AL 35203. History Park is located in the Historic 4th Avenue Business District of Birmingham's Civil Rights District. The race provides a healthy kick off to activities leading up to the annual football game between Alabama State University & Alabama A&M University. 

The morning features a pre-race warm-up, live music, professional timing, great sponsor perks, and an official race shirt for every runner. Beyond the pavement, explore the Classic Community Corner (CCC) featuring local organizations dedicated to health, education, voter registration, and financial literacy. Best of all, a portion of the proceeds will fund scholarships for future Alabama State University and Alabama A&M University students. Hosted by The Leftover Energy Foundation Inc., this event is the perfect way to celebrate community, health and rivalry weekend!
