Event Details
The Cathedral Caverns Trail Run takes place at Cathedral Caverns State Park in Woodville, Alabama. The event offers two distances: a 5K and a 15K. The course starts in a valley with views of mountains and fields. The final segment for both races is a 0.6-mile out-and-back section run inside the cavern itself. This cave section is wide enough for two-way traffic and is decorated with lighting.
Course and Logistics
The course is a cupless race, meaning runners must provide their own hydration system, such as a handheld bottle, pack, or reusable cup. Aid stations are located on the course and provide water, sports drinks, soda, pretzels, and candy.
The 5K race has a participant cap of 300 runners, and the 15K is also capped at 300. All registered runners receive a t-shirt and a finisher medal. Age group awards are given in categories from 0-19 up to 70+. Packet pickup is available the day before the race in Huntsville, Alabama, and on race day at the start line.
Race Information
The event is scheduled for November, with average outdoor temperatures ranging from 44°F to 67°F. The temperature inside the cave is consistently 58°F. There are time cutoffs: 1 hour and 15 minutes for the 5K and 2 hours and 30 minutes for the 15K. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
