Run 4 Kidtopia 5K/10K
This annual community event is hosted by the Kidtopia Playground Association at Grant Town Park, 401 Park Rd, Grant AL 35747. The event name was updated to reflect that proceeds benefit the Kidtopia playground, which has served local families for many years.
Proceeds for this edition are designated for a playground expansion dedicated to the memory of a local child who died in 2025. The event offers multiple participation options and a sleep-in category for supporters who will not attend in person.
Distances offered:
- 10K Run/Walk
- 5K Run/Walk
- 10K + 5K Combo (9 miles)
The 5K is listed as USTAF certified and both races start and finish at Grant City Park, passing through the town. The course is mostly flat with a few inclines, including a final incline referred to as "Cardiac Hill." Volunteers and directional signs will be placed along the route. A water and first aid station will be available near the 5K halfway point, which corresponds to about mile 3.75 of the 10K.
Awards include male and female divisions in age groups 14 and under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60 and over. Cash prizes are offered for top three finishers in each race. Registrations completed by April 17 are guaranteed a race t-shirt. Sleep-in registrants receive a race t-shirt, which can be collected at the registration table on race day or mailed to out-of-town registrants.
