Run For Kids Challenge

The Run for Kids Challenge is a fundraising running event held at Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham, Alabama, on May 3, 2025. It features a 12-hour race and a 10K race, starting at the Cedar Pavilion. The event supports Smile-A-Mile, an organization dedicated to helping children with cancer and their families.

Participants can also join a Kids Half race, a half-mile fun run for children, which is free of charge. The course is a 3.4-mile loop around the lake, with runners completing multiple laps depending on their race category. All proceeds beyond basic expenses are donated to Smile-A-Mile, making it a meaningful event for runners and the community. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
