The biggest block party in downtown Birmingham starts at the starting line. Red Shoe Run: Rockin’ 5K is a high-energy morning filled with music, movement, and meaning — all to help families stay close during their child’s medical journey.
Every registration provides nights of rest, warm meals, and comfort for families staying at Ronald McDonald House Alabama. Whether you’re running the 5K, walking the 1 Mile Fun Run, or joining as a Snoozer from home, your steps create a lasting impact.
After you cross the finish line, the celebration continues with a DJ, awards, and a community that knows how to have fun for a cause. Together, we’re making Family Stays possible.
Special thanks to our 2026 Red Shoe Run Committee!

“The House has made my son’s recovery feel easier by eliminating the worry we face as a family.”
— Misty Taylor
When the Taylor family needed to stay close to their son during treatment, Ronald McDonald House Alabama became their home away from home. Their story and the stories of many more families remind us why every step of the Red Shoe Run: Rockin’ 5K matters.
Your registration helps provide nights of rest, warm meals, and family stays for parents and children facing medical uncertainty.
Watch the Taylor Family’s story and see how your steps make Family Stays possible.
