KultureCity Birmingham Race 2026
The KultureCity Birmingham Race takes place on November 21, 2026 in Birmingham, Alabama. KultureCity is a nonprofit that focuses on sensory accessibility and inclusion for people with sensory needs and invisible disabilities. The event is described as sensory accessible and support will be available onsite for participants who need it.
The event program includes several distances and a virtual option:
- 1 Mile Fun Run Dash
- 5K
- 13.1 miles Half Marathon
Both the 5K and the Half Marathon are chip timed and the course is described as flat and fast. The new 1 Mile Fun Run Dash welcomes kids, families, first-time runners and walkers of all ages and abilities; every finisher receives a commemorative Fun Run medal. Pacers are provided to help runners reach target times. Water stations and cheer stations will be positioned along the race route and volunteers staff these locations.
The race starts in front of the Powell Steam Plant, the future site of the National Accessibility Park, and features a Race Celebration Village after the finish. An official after party is planned at Iron City Birmingham with a live performance by Foxy Shazam and an optional ticketed add on for registered runners. Awards for the 5K and Half Marathon include overall, nonbinary, masters, age group, handcycle, and team categories, all based on chip time.
