Cathedral Caverns Trail Run

The event is a trail race at Cathedral Caverns State Park in Woodville, AL, with two distance options:

Both races include a cave segment in the final 1.2 miles that is an out and back 0.6 mile section wide enough for two way traffic. Runners pick up a glow stick at the turnaround and the cave will have decorative lighting. The cave maintains a year round temperature of about 58F. Typical outdoor temperatures for race day are listed as a low near 44F and a high near 67F.

The 5K and 15K fields are each capped at 300 runners. Aid stations on course will offer water, sports drink, cola, pretzels, M M s and similar items. This is a cupless event; participants must carry a hand held bottle, pack, or reusable cup. A reusable cup is available for purchase at checkout for 5 dollars.

All registered entrants receive a tri blend race shirt and a finisher medal. Age group awards use these categories 0-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 plus. The published cutoffs are 1 hour 15 minutes for the 5K and 2 hours 30 minutes for the 15K. Cave tours begin after the race so cutoffs are enforced. There are no refunds, credits, or transfers and organizers do not mail shirts or medals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
