About the Event

Combine a sweet tooth with a serious trail challenge at the Ultra Donut Dash set for Saturday, 7 February 2026 at Oak Mountain State Park in Birmingham, Alabama. This unique and hilariously difficult 5K trail run requires participants to eat three donuts—at the start, turnaround, and finish—before continuing to run on a grueling 3-mile loop with nearly 1,000 feet of climbing. With an 8:00 AM start, the race is a true test of both digestive fortitude and trail running grit, all within the beautiful and demanding terrain of Alabama's largest state park.

The event is celebrated for its fun, party atmosphere, complete with a post-race celebration featuring coffee, mimosas, and hot chocolate, plus a finisher's shirt and coffee mug. It's the perfect event for runners who don't take themselves too seriously but still love a tough, creative challenge and a great time with the local trail community.
