Huntsville Track Club Events

The Huntsville Track Club organizes a year-round calendar of running and jogging activities. Events include fun runs, road races, cross country, trail races, and track and field at all levels, including pre-school age groups, school competitions, open races, and masters divisions. The club notes that races require many volunteers and lists current volunteer opportunities. The club also discourages the use of personal music devices at events for safety and to help runners hear directions from race personnel and volunteers.
