Kick off your athletic journey with an exhilarating challenge that draws runners back to the roots of the sport, celebrating the pure joy of running in nature. Experience the thrill of completing a HALF MARATHON, where determination and stamina are rewarded with commemorative medals for the overall male and female winners. All finishers receive a special gift: a Pink or Blue Beanie. Your performance will be officially recognized with CHIP TIMING on a certified course, ensuring your time counts. For those seeking a shorter distance, the Quarter Marathon offers a back-to-basics experience without awards, featuring hand-timed finish cards. The first 131 registered participants for either distance will receive a unique coffee mug. Please note that there are NO AGE GROUP AWARDS. Enjoy the scenic 13.1-mile out-and-back course and aim to finish before the course closes. A $2.00 discount is available for members of the Anniston Runners Club and Gadsden Runners Club.
