BHM 26.2 Marathon and Half Marathon

Get ready to run, Birmingham! It’s time to see what we’ve become.

BHM26.2 2023 in Alabama's only fully charitable race series, benefitting Magic Moments on Sunday, October 1st. Comprised of a full marathon, half marathon, 10k, 5k and fun run, BHM26.2's race series brings exciting courses to the Birmingham Metro area including a non looping course! With over 2,000 runners, this event is one of Alabama's most highly attended races and the ONLY full marathon with a family-friendly after party for participants and anyone supporting the cause! 

 Our specialized marathon course is a beautiful run through our city unlike anything you’ve run before. With a tough course you're sure to earn that finishers medal.

Our half marathon  is a faster paced course embedded into our full course with a lot of fun features in it's path.

Runners looking for less mileage are in luck, as BHM26.2 features a 10K, 5K, and Fun Run options.

The BHM26.2 fun run is geared towards children and patients who wish to be a part of our race weekend. Children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult. This event is our only stroller friendly event in our race series.

We also have an after party for everyone to enjoy right after you cross the finish line on Sunday! Join us after the race party with a post race meal, live music, a bar, a kids zone, and more!

The best part? All proceeds benefit Magic Moments, the only wish-granting organization devoted exclusively to children in Alabama with chronic life-threatening illnesses and Children’s of Alabama. Lace up your shoes and join us October 1st as we run for the children who are chasing a cure.
