US Road Running - Gadsden
The US Road Running event in Gadsden, Alabama, takes place at James Martin Trail Park, located behind the Gadsden Mall. This organized race features a variety of distances held on a pea gravel trail course. All participants are required to register in advance through the designated online platform, as no registrations are accepted on-site on the day of the event. Packet pickup is conducted at the event location shortly before the start.
The event offers several race distances for participants:

The courses are designed as out-and-back routes. For the 5K, runners complete an out-and-back loop twice on a 0.78-mile section. The 10K requires four completions of the same out-and-back distance. The Half Marathon utilizes a 1.09-mile out-and-back section, which participants complete six times.
There is a maximum course time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes for all participants. Highlighting a festive atmosphere, the event encourages runners to wear costumes, and a group photo is taken before the start.
