About the event
The Paper Chase 5K, raises funds to support teachers and children with free supplies through Free 2 Teach. Free 2 Teach invests in public school teachers so that they can equip and inspire every child in their classroom. Come out and join us on February 20, 2027 in downtown Huntsville.
The school with the most runners (family, supporters, staff, friends etc) will win $1,500 for their school library and/or technology needs!
The course winds through beautiful downtown Huntsville and is a partial loop certified with USATF (code: AL18003JE). Runners of all levels are invited as are walkers. This is a great way to run with your family and friends in a casual and fun environment. Due to insurance restrictions, strollers are not permitted on the course.
**PLEASE REGISTER BY JANUARY 20, 2027 TO GUARANTEE A T-SHIRT!**
**This race will be an in-person event, rain or shine. The race fee will go toward your registration and all funds are non-refundable. Thank you!**
**Packet pickup will occur from 10am-7pm on February 19th, at Fleet Feet in Jones Valley, and on race day at the race site until 7:40am.**
Online registration closes at 8pm on February 17, 2027!
