Race to The Tower Trail Run

Oneonta, United States • 16 May 2026

Race to the Tower Trail Run takes place at Palisades Park in Oneonta, Alabama, offering 5K, 10K, 15K and 20K distances. The course is half park road and half improved trail, with multiple loops for the longer distances. A key feature is the option to climb the tower for a finisher’s medal; a waiver is required to climb and is valid for the day, though climbing is not required to post a finish time.

There is a three-hour cut-off. The race benefits OHS Cross Country and Palisades Park. Packet pickup is on race morning; no race-day registration this year.

Awards go to top finishers in each division. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
