About the 2026 Run for Warriors 5K
The course runs along Lake Guntersville on a closed road, so there is no traffic to worry about. The lake is the backdrop for most of the route, and the organizers describe it as well supported, meaning aid and volunteers are spread out along the way. Walkers and runners both show up for this one.
The race benefits local veterans, with proceeds directed toward treatment programs for PTSD and related issues. All of the money stays in Marshall County, so the cause is local and specific. That tends to draw a crowd that is there for something beyond the finish line.
