Smoke Rise Trail Run
The Smoke Rise Trail Run is a trail race at Blevins Gap Land Trust, 3470 Cecil Ashburn Dr SE in Huntsville, AL. The event offers three distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
The half marathon is run as two loops. Course maps and elevation profiles are provided for each distance. The field is limited by a hard cap of 250 runners. Runners receive a t-shirt and a finisher medal; a post-race grill is planned for participants.
This is a cupless race. Participants must carry a handheld bottle, pack, or reusable cup because paper cups are not provided at aid stations. A RunningLane reusable cup is available for purchase at checkout for $5. Aid stations will provide bottled water and individually wrapped snacks.
To be guaranteed a Smoke Rise t-shirt, registration must be completed before April 29. The race shirt is a tri-blend. Age groups for the 10K and half marathon are 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+. There are no refunds, deferrals, credits, or transfers and shirts or medals are not mailed.
Average race-day temperatures are listed as a low of 59F and a high of 81F. Cutoffs are 2 hr 30 min for the 10K and 3 hr 40 min for the half marathon.
