Brothers for Life 5K

The Brothers for Life 5K is a community-focused running event held in Decatur, Alabama, at the Jack Allen Soccer Complex. Scheduled for August 9, 2025, the event features a 5K run, a 5K ruck (with weighted packs of 30 lbs for men and 20 lbs for women), and a 1-mile fun run/walk. The race supports local firefighters, police officers, EMS professionals, and dispatchers.

Participants in the ruck division must weigh their packs before the race to qualify for placement. Early registrants receive a shirt, and packet pickup is available both the evening before at a local brewery and on race day. The event fosters a supportive atmosphere honoring first responders.
