Miles of Hope: Spooky Edition

Miles of Hope: Spooky Edition is a Halloween morning race in Anniston, Alabama, starting at 171 Town Center Drive. The event provides three running options: a 1-mile fun run, a 5K, and a half marathon. The fun run begins first, followed by the 5K and half marathon. The race route is not detailed, but it embraces Halloween themes. Participants are encouraged to wear costumes, and spectators can cheer from the sidelines. Entry fees are uniform for all three distances. Proceeds benefit programs focused on youth opportunity, health, community work, and community resiliency for local individuals and families.

Half Naked Half Marathon - Presented by Anniston Runners Club

The Half Naked Half Marathon is an Anniston, Alabama race presented by the Anniston Runners Club. It starts and finishes at McClellan Park Medical Mall on Town Center Drive. The event is held annually and offers two distances: a certified 13.1-mile half marathon and a quarter marathon. Both races use chip timing, and the half marathon counts as an official time. The course closes at 11 a.m.; anyone still on the course after that is considered on their own. The half marathon follows a simple out-and-back route, fitting the race’s deliberately “stripped down” personality. The name originates from the event’s humble beginnings, but runners do not actually have to run half-naked. Runners and walkers of all abilities can participate. Age-group awards are given in 10-year divisions for both distances. Half marathon finishers receive a medal, and participants in both races get a long-sleeve shirt, provided they register early.

Chief Ladiga 100

The Chief Ladiga 100 is a 100-mile ultramarathon held on the paved Chief Ladiga Trail in Alabama, which connects to the Pinhoti Trail system. The course is an out-and-back design, requiring participants to traverse the same path in both directions over day and night. While relatively flat for a 100-mile race, the distance, the repeated section, and the 30-hour time limit present a significant endurance challenge. Aid stations are positioned approximately every 5 miles, establishing a consistent pace and simplifying logistics compared to more remote mountain races. The race has a limited field size and attracts ultrarunners seeking a fast 100-mile course and a Western States 100 qualifying opportunity. The Anniston Runners Club, supported by committed volunteers, manages the event and contributes to local charities.

About Half Marathon races in Anniston-Oxford

Anniston-Oxford Training Notes

Anniston-Oxford hosts 8 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run the Chief Ladiga Trail when they want steady base miles without cars. The trail runs 1 miles and links Michael Tucker Park with schools, Zinn Park, and other local parks. The route covers 02 km and gains +116 m, so it works as a clean anchor effort. Downtown Anniston carries the Canyon Climb 8K, Publix Woodstock 5K, Greg Stone Memorial Pancake 5K, and YMCA and Anniston Orthopaedics Spring 5K Run/Walk. Anniston Runners Club keeps the calendar moving, and Piper’s Playhouse gives that small local scene feel.

Northeast Alabama Bicycle Association is the hub for riders around Anniston. NEABA supports the Chief Ladiga Trail, McClellan Bike Trails, Cheaha Challenge Gran Fondo, Sunny King Criterium, and the Noble Street Festival. Locals can glide down the road on skinny tires, cruise the greenway trail, or hit sweet singletrack. Chief Ladiga Trail gives Z2 miles from Anniston toward Weaver, Jacksonville, Piedmont, and the Silver Comet Trail in Georgia. The Chief Ladiga Trail has 3 mi on gravel, and Bain's Gap to Moorman Lookout gives a very steep gravel climb up to the ridge. Mount Cheaha gives the gran fondo its real bite.

May is the big month for race energy here. Anniston Runners Club has May events like Run to the “MAX” for Mental Health, 2026 Making Tracks 5K, 5K Glow Run/Walk “Glow &Go,” Cotton Row Run, and The Dough Dash 5K Run. Summer changes the rhythm instead of killing it. In the Heat of the Night starts at 6 PM, so trail runners get their work after the worst heat. Winter has a simple marker. Half Naked Half Marathon lands in January, while riders still have Chief Ladiga Trail miles, McClellan Bike Trails, and gravel climbs for steady work.
