A hometown classic with big energy.For more than a decade, runners across North Alabama have circled one date on their calendar—the annual North Alabama Chick‑fil‑A Race Series stop in Athens. It’s the race where the whole community shows up, the streets fill with cheering supporters, and runners from all across North Alabama test themselves on the 10K and 5K routes.
And yes… the prize everyone talks about is back. A YEAR OF FREE CHICK‑FIL‑A for our top finishers and FREE Chick-fil-A for ALL of our Age Group Winners. That’s bragging rights and waffle‑fry glory all in one.
The race morning vibe is unbeatable. Local sponsors and vendors line the START/FINISH area, turning the event into a full‑on festival. Kids get their own moment to shine in the Fun Run, and the legendary Chick‑fil‑A Cows roam the course area for high‑fives, photos, and to help fuel the cow‑powered hype.
Whether you’re chasing a PR, jogging with friends, or cheering on your little runners, this is one of Athens’ most beloved traditions for a reason. Fast courses, big crowds, great food, and a community that shows up stronger every single year.
Run hard. Have fun. Eat More Chicken.
