About the Fleet Feet Tuscaloosa Birthday Run - Cake Mile
The Cake Mile is exactly what it sounds like: a few laps around the shopping center, with a slice of cake before each one. First to finish all the laps and all the cake wins. There is also an easy companion run, no cake required, for anyone who wants a conversational evening instead. Both routes start and end in the same parking lot.
Post-race, both groups land in the same spot: music playing, a birthday spread out, the full party atmosphere. The start is right outside the Fleet Feet store on Towncenter Boulevard, so parking is straightforward. Packet pickup and the store itself are steps away if you need anything before the gun.
