Can you run half-naked in the cold January air? While we certainly don't expect this of everyone, this "stripped down" format for the race was tied to its humble beginnings, and it has evolved and grown since then. All half marathon finishers will receive a finisher medal. All quarter and half marathon runners will receive a long-sleeve t-shirt! It is quite the accomplishment to complete a HALF MARATHON! This year, both the half and quarter marathons WILL BE CHIP TIMED! The half marathon course is certified and will count as an official time. AGE GROUP awards will be given for BOTH races (distributed by 10-year age group). 13.1 mile out and back course Course closes at 11 a.m. Anyone on the course after this time is "on their own". **A $3.00 discount for Anniston Runners Club and Gadsden Runners Club members. Discount does not apply towards Fab Four Series Bundle price.
A long-sleeve race T-shirt for all entries and finishing medal for Half Marathon runners are given out to participants. To be guaranteed a race T-shirt, be sure to be registered at least four weeks before race day. We will provide an image of the finishing medal when one is available. Shirts will ONLY be available for pick up only on race day. You may have another runner pick up your shirt if you cannot attend.
