Hueytown's 10K / 5k Race & Walk: Scheduled for January 18, 2014

In order to accommodate various activities in the area, the Hueytown 10K / 5K Race and Walk has moved from October to January 2014.   Date:  January 18.  This will give you plenty of time to get in running or walking shape!  Early registration will open in late October.

We have one of the few area 10K runs and it is USATF certified!  You do not have to do the 10K and you don't have to run.    For those that prefer to walk and want to do less than a 10K,  come on and join us. 

The 5K is approximately 3 miles.  We have a large group of walkers each year that participate in the 5K portion.  We also have a Fun Run for the kids directly following the end of the race.  ALL 10K/5K race participants (runners and walkers) receive a technical dry-fit shirt!  Winners of each category will receive an award.  Door prizes will also be awarded throughout the event. 

If you have a team or are in a club, you can participate as a group!  If you want to test just yourself - great too! Bring your friends, family, dress in your favorite team colors, wear a funny hat, whatever gets you to make it through!
So get your feet moving!
