We are so thrilled to host the 3^rd Annual Tuscaloosa Half Marathon and are even more excited for the addition of the 5k. Our race weekend now provides runners at all levels the opportunity to participate in a race that makes such a difference in the community. Each participant truly has the chance to run for a purpose.
