The Trak Shak Trail Series

The Trak Shak Trail Series is a no-frills 5K trail running event held in Birmingham, Alabama, at Red Mountain Park. Launched in 2025, the series features multiple races where each event highlights a different shoe brand, offering participants the chance to demo shoes on the trails and enter to win a pair from that brand. The races are timed but do not award age group or overall winners.

Runners who participate in multiple events receive a non-cotton running t-shirt. Proceeds from the series support Red Mountain Park, making it a community-focused event combining trail running with shoe testing and fun. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
