The Jimmie Hale Mission hosts this event, attracting approximately 300 runners and additional spectators. The setup features a DJ, T-shirts and swag bags for participants, health screenings provided by Southern Immediate Care, and a sensory-sensitive station. These elements contribute to a wider community atmosphere beyond a typical race day.

XTERRA Appalachian Trail Fest takes place at Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham, Alabama, starting and finishing at the South Trail Head. The festival features trail runs of 10 km, 21.1 km, and 42.2 km. The marathon presents a demanding challenge with dynamic singletrack, sustained climbs, technical descents, and terrain that penalizes poor pacing. It also serves as an official XTERRA World Championship qualifier, attracting a competitive field. The race's unique character stems from its Halloween theme. Aid stations feature "Witches’ Brew" offerings, and Appalachian cryptids are incorporated into the festival's motif. The event merchandise also reflects the trail concept: the race shirt displays hidden topographic contour lines when wet from sweat, and the finisher medal alters in sunlight, featuring a satellite-style terrain graphic specific to Oak Mountain State Park.

The Awaken Recovery Run is an annual community run and walk on the Black Creek Park trail in Fultondale, Alabama, starting from 777 Yarbrough Road. It offers a 5K, 10K, and 1-mile fun run, plus a 0K support option for those who want to back the cause without running. The 5K is a morning race, and the event is designed for a wide range of participants, from walkers and first-timers to runners using it as a tune-up or a chance to race hard. The course uses the park trail rather than city streets, giving the race a local, low-key feel. The event supports Awaken, a Birmingham-based nonprofit that helps people affected by addiction and relational trauma. Awaken runs support groups, recovery retreats, and church-assistance programs; race participation helps fund and expand those services.
