About the Huntsville City FC Holiday 5K and 10k 2026
The race starts and finishes at a soccer stadium, and the finish line is on the pitch itself. That detail alone makes it stand out. Runners and walkers have a couple of distance options, and the afternoon start time gives the whole thing a different feel from the usual early-morning race.
Packet pickup runs the day before at a local running store in Jones Valley. After the race, refreshments are waiting at the finish, and the celebration carries on with food and drinks available to buy at the stadium.
