We are excited to announce a brand-new Epic Race coming to Huntsville, Alabama!

This is an official race supported by the City of Huntsville — with roads closed for runners and walkers, so you can focus on the challenge and the views!

One of Huntsville’s most breathtaking sights awaits at the top of Cecil Ashburn Drive. This race will push athletes to their limits with Alabama’s toughest 10K, featuring stunning city views and an unforgettable sunrise finish experience.

This is a race for those who love hills, grit, and unforgettable views.
