Description

Gathering the diverse groups in our beloved community to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in the spirit of sisterhood and brotherhood with fellowship and fitness.

This year's 5th Annual Race will be VIRTUAL. Race participants come from diverse populations that include all demographics, races, cultures, genders and creed to celebrate the meaning of the holiday in a fun and fitness way. Annually the race features a lineup of drumline musicians from Birmingham area schools and organizations that will perform along the full race course to motivate runners and walkers as they make their way. This year we will bring you the sound of the drumline in an electronic format as you make your way along your 5K route. Also, each drumline will receive a donation to their band booster association.

The soundtrack will also include our pre-race activities such as music, warm-up and inspiration that makes this holiday great. With the 5th Annual race being VIRTUAL, we are inviting the world to take part. We will provide a safe social distanced alternative from our in person event which will still include a warm up, music, timing through popular online apps, sponsors and the race goodie bag including the official MLK DAY 5K Drum Run shirt and medal for all race entrants. Great inspiration that makes this holiday great!

If you are a nonprofit, church group, school org, foundation or community group please register as a team and receive $5.00 back for every registered team member for your organization's community efforts.
