About

The BHM 26.2 Marathon and Half Marathon takes place on October 3, 2027, in Hoover, Alabama. The marathon (26.2 miles / 42.2 km) and half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km) start together at 7:00 a.m., the 10K and 5K follow at 7:15 a.m., and a half-mile (0.8 km) fun run wraps up the morning at 10:00 a.m. No elevation data has been published for these road courses.

With five events in a single morning, the race suits everyone from a runner tackling a first 26.2 to a family sharing the fun run. Early starts, common in the South in October, limit heat exposure but mean getting race-morning prep done the night before. For the marathon, a training cycle of at least 16 weeks with long runs beyond 17 miles (28 km) remains the foundation.
