Smoke Rise Trail Run

Huntsville, United States • 10 May 2025

The Smoke Rise Trail Run takes place at Blevins Gap Land Trust in Huntsville, Alabama, offering a scenic trail running experience along Green Mountain. The event features three distances: a half marathon (two loops), a 10K, and a 5K, catering to both new and experienced trail runners. The race emphasizes environmental responsibility as a "cupless race," requiring participants to bring their own hydration gear.

Aid stations provide bottled water and individually wrapped snacks. Runners receive a tri-blend t-shirt and a finisher medal, with a post-race grill-out. The course is limited to 250 runners, and the event encourages volunteer participation with incentives. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
