Ultra Donut Dash

Birmingham, United States • 8 Feb 2025

The Ultra Donut Dash is an exciting 5k trail run taking place at Oak Mountain State Park in Birmingham, AL. This unique event challenges participants to consume three donuts throughout the race—one at the start, one at the turnaround, and one at the finish—while navigating a 3-mile loop with nearly 1000 feet of elevation gain. Runners must finish each donut before proceeding to the next segment of the course. After the race, participants can enjoy a post-race party featuring coffee, Irish coffee, mimosas, and hot chocolate, along with a commemorative shirt and coffee mug for finishers.
