About the Event

Cookie Fix Cookie Crusher VH5K/10K– A Sweet Race for a Magical Cause!

The Cookie Fix Cookie Crusher VH5K/10K is the first race of the year with the Alabama Race Series, brought to you by the team behind BHM26.2! Presented by Cookie Fix, this deliciously fun race takes place at Heights Village in Vestavia Hills on Saturday, April 11th!

This event isn’t just about crushing miles—it’s about making life sweeter for children in Alabama. ALL proceeds benefit Magic Moments, the only wish-granting organization dedicated exclusively to children in Alabama facing chronic life-threatening or acute life-altering conditions.

This extra sweet event has something for everyone with three exciting race options: a fun and challenging 5K, our brand-new 10K for those ready to go the extra miles, and the exciting Kid’s 200-Yard Dash for our youngest runners.

The 5K is perfect for runners and walkers alike, while the new 10K offers a longer challenge for seasoned racers looking to test their endurance. Little athletes won’t want to miss the Kid’s 200-Yard Dash, a short, high-energy sprint that lets kids of all ages experience the thrill of race day.

Registration is required for all events, including the Kid’s Dash, so sign up today and don’t miss out on this deliciously fun race experience!

Following the race, participants and their families can enjoy a city-sponsored After-Party in Heights Village, open to the public. More details coming soon!
