Birmingham, AL

Birmingham's running scene centres on relatively flat urban routes through Lakeshore Park and along the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex waterfront, with the Run Magic City half-marathon and Queen Bee 5K drawing steady local fields. Cyclists will find rolling terrain in the nearby suburbs and stronger hills 30–40km south towards the Talladega National Forest, where elevation reaches 500m; the flatter Iron Man course (around the city itself) suits training, but serious climbing demands a drive into Calhoun County. The humid subtropical climate means early morning or evening runs are essential in summer months.
