Magnolia Run
The Magnolia Run begins and ends at Jesse’s Restaurant in Magnolia Springs, Alabama. Its primary feature is a USATF-certified 5K course. The yearly event maintains a straightforward format: a 5K run, a 5K walk, and a 1 Mile Fun Run. It attracts about 300 participants, offering a local community feel rather than a large-city atmosphere, and accommodates strollers and dogs. The 5K offers numerous age-group awards, along with overall, masters, grand masters, senior grand masters, and wheelchair categories for both men and women. Walkers are eligible for their own age-group awards, and participants in the fun run receive medals. A portion of each registration fee benefits The Sea Glass Initiative. Post-race food is provided by Jesse’s Restaurant, and the awards ceremony will take place inside the Magnolia Springs Community Hall.
