Parking :

Restroom Access :

• Porta-potties will be accessible along fence of the gravel parking lot. You can also find bathrooms inside Wagner's building and inside Irontribe building. Bathroom lines tend to get very long pre-race so give yourself plenty of time!

Start & Finish Line :

• The Start and Finish will be located on Bridge Ave, directly in front of the Wagner’s/Iron Tribe building. Please make sure not to cross the start line prior to the start of the race to ensure accurate timing. The race will start promptly at 8am. Please be ready at the start line by 7:55am. We ask that walkers, strollers, and wheelchairs start towards the back of the pack to allow more space for runners to pace themselves.

This year, race proceeds will benefit two organizations near and dear to our hearts - Magic Moments and Tuscaloosa Angels.   
Magic Moments is Alabama’s only wish granting organization for children with chronic life-threatening medical conditions.
Tuscaloosa Angels is a nonprofit organization transforming the foster care experience across West Alabama. Their mission is to walk alongside children, youth, and families in the local foster care community by offering consistent support through intentional giving, relationship building, and mentorship. 

Last year we were able to donate over $10,000 to charity through this race and our hope is to increase that amount this year!
