Raffle Run
The Raffle Run takes place Saturday, August 1, 2026, at Veterans Park in Hoover, Alabama. This is the event's second annual edition. Organizers plan to give away about $2,500 in prizes through a raffle drawing conducted at the end of the event. Runners and walkers of all ages are welcome.
Event options listed for search include:
- 5K Run
- 10K Run
- Timed 1.5 Hour Run
Participants receive a custom wristband at race day packet pickup at the pavilion by the playgrounds. Wristbands must be visible to receive a raffle ticket for each completed lap. The event runs for 1 hour and 30 minutes; only completed laps earn tickets. Raffle tickets are not for sale and there is no limit to how many tickets a participant may earn. On the final lap the wristband is returned in exchange for the final raffle ticket and a finisher's medal.
There are five prizes. Prize distributions include three cash winners of $200 each (total $600), two separate winners who each receive 5 ounces of pure silver (total 10 ounces), a 1/10 ounce of pure gold (approximate value listed), and two $500 gift cards. At the drawing a winner must be present and present the matching ticket to claim a prize.
The approximate 1.25-mile course loops through Veterans Park, combining paved surfaces and trails. One water station will be available at the start/finish area; no food will be provided. No early packet pickup is offered; parking and restrooms are available at the site. Refunds are not available, but entries may be transferred or deferred by contacting the event organizers.
