Monarch March 5k and Fun Run

Monarch March 5k and Fun Run takes place in Huntsville, Alabama, on March 27, 2027. The 5K (3.1 miles) starts at 8:00 AM on a flat, scenic course suited to every fitness level, and a one-mile fun run follows at 9:00 AM. Awards go to the overall male and female finishers and to the age-group winners, and the event supports the Montessori school of Huntsville.

Flat and short is the combination that produces personal bests, so if you have a 5K time in mind this is a reasonable place to go after it. Warm up properly beforehand, since a 3.1-mile race is effectively over by the time you feel settled. The mile an hour later is a good option for children and for anyone who would rather cover a short distance than race, and running both is entirely manageable with an hour between them.
