Comprised of a full marathon, full marathon relay, half marathon, 10k, 5k and fun run, BHM26.2's race series brings exciting courses to the Birmingham Metro area! With over 2,000 runners, this event is one of Alabama's most highly attended races with a family-friendly after party for participants and anyone supporting the cause! 

 Our specialized marathon course is a beautiful 13.1 looped run through our city unlike anything you’ve run before. With this beautiful course, you're sure to earn that finisher's medal. 

Our marathon relay course is the classic course split into 5 legs that any group can conquer. 

Our half marathon  is a fast paced course with a lot of fun features and cheer stations along the way. 

Runners looking for less mileage are in luck, as BHM26.2 features a 10K, 5K, and Fun Run options.

The BHM26.2 fun run is geared towards children and patients who wish to be a part of our race weekend. Children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult. This event is stroller friendly event.

We also have an after party for everyone to enjoy right after you cross the finish line on Sunday! Join us at The Finley Center for a post race meal, live music, drinks, a kids zone, and more!

The best part? All proceeds benefit Magic Moments, the only wish-granting organization devoted exclusively to children in Alabama with chronic life-threatening or acute life-altering conditions. Lace up your shoes and join us October 5th as we run for the children who are chasing a cure.
