Event Information

The Wade Mountain Marathon takes place in Huntsville, Alabama. It is described as North Alabama's only trail marathon. The event also offers a half marathon and a 10K race.

The race is held on trails in late October, with average temperatures noted as 49°F to 73°F. It is a "cupless" event, meaning participants must provide their own handheld bottle, pack, or reusable cup, as no paper cups are available at aid stations. A reusable RunningLane cup can be purchased for $5 at registration.

Packet pickup is available at the RunningLane store in Huntsville the day before the race and on race morning. The event has a no-refund, no-deferral, and no-transfer policy.
