About the Event

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! 

Co-Chair: Amber Harbison & Caleb Mills

About Birmingham

Scenic view of

Birmingham is the largest city in Alabama, and its cultural and economic nucleus. While it's best remembered as the site of protest, bombings, and other racial tumult during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, visitors to the Birmingham of today will find a pleasant green city of ridges, valleys, attractive views, and friendly, hospitable people.
