Trailhead 5k

Trailhead 5k 2025

Join us for a unique 5K experience that blends the best of both worlds road and trail running! This hybrid course features approximately 1.2 miles of paved greenway and 2 scenic miles on a well-marked singletrack trail.

Expect a mix of smooth pavement to get your legs moving, followed by shaded trails that wind through Hickory Cove Nature Preserve, offering a touch of adventure and a refreshing break from the typical road race. The course finishes back on the greenway, giving runners a fast, flat finish. Whether you're a seasoned trail runner or tackling your first 5K, this course offers a fun and approachable challenge for all levels.

Get ready for a memorable race day with nature, community, and a great finish line vibe!

Proceeds from the race go to the Land Trust of North Alabama.  

We encourage the entire family to participate this year.  

Packet Pick-up will be at Fleet Feet Huntsville on Saturday, September 13 from 12-5.

Race start time is 4:00 p.m.
