Running for the Bulls 5K

Pelham, United States • 5 Apr 2025

The Running for the Bulls 5K and Fun Run is a family-friendly event organized by Bama Bully Rescue, taking place at Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham, Alabama. This annual event, which has been running since 2008, aims to raise funds for the rescue of pit bull-type dogs from local shelters. Participants can choose between a 5K trail run or a one-mile fun run, and are encouraged to bring their dogs along as "canine coaches." Both humans and dogs have the chance to win medals, and attendees can enjoy a raffle while waiting for runners to finish. The event is held rain or shine, promising a fun day for all.
