BHM26.2

BHM26.2 2025 is Alabama's only fully charitable race series, hosted in Hoover as part of The Alabama Race Series. The weekend features a full marathon, a 5-person marathon relay, a half marathon, 10K, 5K and a Kids Fun Run, drawing more than 2,000 runners. The marquee Marathon course is a scenic 13.1‑mile loop through Hoover’s city streets and neighborhoods, with rolling hills, flat sections, and waterfront views, supported by frequent water and cheer stations and medical aid.

The Half Marathon winds through city and waterfront routes, while the 10K and 5K offer a mix of flats and hills. An Expo at The Finley Center precedes packet pickup, and an After Party with live music. All proceeds benefit Magic Moments. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
