Peace, Love and Fun Run...

• 5K Run:- Run 3.1 Miles
• 1 Mile Run:- 1 Mile Run

Cahaba Medical Care is a non-profit Community Health Center with locations in Centreville, Woodstock, Maplesville, Bessemer, and Birmingham, AL.  Founded in July 2004, we are celebrating 13 joyful years of service to people of Bibb and Perry County and Central Alabama. Our Woodstock office is located at the intersection of AL-5 and US-11.   Additionally, all proceeds from the race will go towards the Woodstock Senior Nutrition and Activity Center that is currently under construction.

The race itself starts and ends at Woodstock Elementary School, passes through the forested area behind the school that makes up the Woodstock Walking Trail and proceeds down Eastern Valley Road to the Woodstock Community Library and back.  We will have liberal hydration stations along the path.  Come out and enjoy a crisp, autumn morning.

The 5k welcomes all ages and all skill levels. Feel free to race hard for your age-group prize, or feel free to walk or jog your first 5k with other first-timers. (Note that the running is friendly and competitive... but the walking is not competitive with no age-group awards). The <1 mile fun run is geared towards kids and will follow the 5k, and will start at the 5k finish line - Woodstock Elementary School.

Finally, the event will help to kick off the 1st Woodstock (AL) Music Festival... there will be numerous on-site vendors following the race... 14 hours of live entertainment, great southern food, and a good ol’ country throwdown...hosted by the Town of Woodstock!

Event details and schedule

The race starts at 8:00 a.m.

Packet-pickup begins at 7:00 a.m. and concludes around 7:30 a.m. We want all racers in place by 7:45 a.m. for an on-time 8:00 a.m. start. Packet pickup will be at the front entrance (under the awning) of Woodstock Elementary School (19456 Eastern Valley Road).

Parking will be available at Little League Fields across the street from the school. Race ends back at the elementary school.

Same day registration is allowed, but T-shirts are not guaranteed if not pre-registered before 9/11... but we will do our best.

The 5k will start promptly at 8:00 a.m..

The course has liberal hydration stations with cool towels.

Racers will run east from the school’s parking lot and turn and go behind the school and make one (1) lap around the Woodstock Walking Trail before coming out and turning left on Eastern Valley Road and proceeding to the Woodstock Community Library before turning around and running back to the school.

You will find the first hydration station about ½ mile from the starting point and at ½ mile increments thereafter.  Please note, the Woodstock Walking Trail is unpaved terrain that passes through a forested area.  It is set up mostly for cross-country type events, but is user-friendly for a 5K.

(Note: there will be policemen blocking off the intersections and volunteers helping you through the trail.)

The FINISH LINE will be at the Woodstock Elementary School (19456 Eastern Valley Road).

There will be refreshments at the finish line.

The <1 mile fun run will start at the 5k finish line and be a safe and simple loop around the school’s parking lot.

The Awards Ceremony will be held under the awning at the front entrance of the school immediately following the Kids’ Fun Run.
