Huntsville Run Fest

Join us for a Saturday trail running event featuring multiple distances designed for runners of different abilities. Whether you're chasing a challenge or supporting friends and family along the course, this event is built to bring the running community together.

Race Distances:
Sublett Challenge 5K
25K Trail Run
50K Trail Run

The 25K and 50K races will start together at 7:00 AM. Both distances follow the same course, with the 50K completing the loop twice.

This is a true trail run, with most of the course on single track. Expect approximately 2,500+ feet of climbing in the 25K and 5,000+ feet in the 50K. There are no prerequisites for entry, but this race is designed to test your mountain running ability.

If you're looking to challenge your spirit, lungs, and legs, this course will deliver. With steep climbs, technical terrain, and rugged descents, both your mental toughness and physical strength will be put to the test. While some sections are demanding, others are fast and runnable, creating a rewarding mountain running experience.

Most of the trail is shaded beneath a dense forest canopy, with only a few exposed areas. Runners will travel along beautiful single-track and double-track trails, many of which originated from century-old logging roads and historic pathways used by Native American communities who lived in this region until the Civil War.
