About

The Birmingham Marathon takes place in Birmingham, Alabama, in the second half of March, with the 26.2-mile race starting at 8:00 a.m. It is described as a self-supported group run through the city, giving participants a chance to see landmarks while following a scenic route.

Aid is provided by local businesses along the way, and the event promotes fitness and local culture while welcoming runners of all levels. Because support is limited compared with a large-scale marathon, it is wise to bring your own nutrition and a way to carry fluids, and to read the instructions on the official site beforehand. Birmingham has rolling terrain and variable March weather, so layers and a flexible pacing plan help.
