Small Town Christmas 34 Hour
Small Town Christmas 34 Hour is a 34 hour ultrarunning event held in Valley, Alabama, on a loop that measures two miles along the banks of the Chattahoochee River. The event is organized by Muddy Crudd Trail and Ultrarunning and takes place on a repeated short loop that circles local riverfront areas.
The race supports a local holiday tradition in Valley. Each year a carousel is set up for children at no cost, a practice that began as an outreach by the local textile mills and has continued with support from the city and donations from local businesses. Proceeds from the event help carry on that carousel tradition.
Past editions have produced multiple 100 mile finishes and several distance personal records. A world record tying achievement of 50 100 mile finishes in a year was recorded during earlier running at this location. Awards include an event t shirt for runners registered by the t shirt deadline of 11/25/2026, unique finisher awards, and a custom MuddyCrudd belt buckle for runners who reach 100 miles.
