BTC Peavine Falls Run : Pelham, Alabama

The BTC Peavine Falls Run is the 45th annual running event held on the Fourth of July in Central Alabama. The race is hosted by the Birmingham Track Club and is part of the BTC Race Series, a bundle of four BTC events offered at a combined price.

The event is based at Oak Mountain State Park. The course starts and finishes in front of the Dogwood Picnic Pavilion on Terrace Drive at 200 Terrace Drive, Pelham, AL 35124. The race typically attracts a few hundred participants, providing a smaller-scale alternative to larger urban races.

The main distance listed for 2026 is an 8.2 mile run. Entry for that event is shown at $40, with the price increasing after July 2, 2026. Participants receive a gender-neutral shirt designed for the race; registration by June 20 is required to guarantee a shirt.

Sponsors named for the event include TherapySouth and Andrews Sports Medicine. Race information pages referenced by the organizer note additional details such as course maps, awards, trail tips, camping, and race series bundle rules, and they indicate that BTC members receive a discounted entry.
