Cathedral Caverns Trail Run - November 14, 2026
Cathedral Caverns Trail Run takes place at Cathedral Caverns State Park in Woodville, AL. The event offers two trail distances and is organized by RunningLane Events. The field is limited to 300 runners for each distance.
Distances
- 15K
- 5K
Both routes include a distinctive cave segment. The last 1.2 miles of each race run through the cave as an out-and-back 0.6 mi segment that accommodates two-way traffic; runners pick up a glow stick at the turnaround and decorative lighting is on throughout. The cave temperature is about 58F year round; average race day temperatures are listed as a low of 44F and a high of 67F.
Aid stations are provided on course with water, Gatorade, cola, pretzels, M&M's and other items. The event follows a cupless policy so runners must use a handheld bottle, pack, or reusable cup; a RunningLane reusable cup is available for purchase for $5. All entrants receive a tri-blend race shirt and a finisher medal. Age groups are 0-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+.
Packet pickup is available Friday at the Running Lane store at 2407 Memorial Parkway SW Suite 1, Huntsville, AL and on race morning at the park under the start-line tent. Cutoffs are 1 hour 15 minutes for the 5K (24:00 min/mi) and 2 hours 30 minutes for the 15K (16:40 min/mi); cave tours begin after the race so organizers note these cutoffs are strict.
