Race to Space Marathon & Half Marathon 2027

The Race to Space begins and ends at Bridge Street Town Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The event includes a marathon, half marathon, and a Saturn "V" 5K. All races commence at 7:00 AM CDT. This road race features chip timing at the start and several pacing groups. The typical spring weather for the event ranges from approximately 44F to 67F. The course winds through Cummings Research Park, the second-largest research park in the U.S., reflecting the race's Huntsville space-and-technology theme. The 5K is described as flat and fast, with a loop designed for high energy and crowd support. Following the race, participants can enjoy a post-race gathering with numerous vendors and live music. The 5K is suitable for a broad age range, from children to seniors, while the marathon and half marathon offer longer-distance challenges starting from the same Bridge Street location.
