BTC Statue to Statue 15k

BTC Statue to Statue 15k takes place in Mountain Brook, Alabama, on April 3, 2027. The race offers a single format, a 15K (9.3 miles), with the start set for 8:00 a.m. It is a road event on the Birmingham-area calendar, and the one distance means the whole field runs together from the same gun rather than splitting across several waves.

The 15K sits in a gap most runners rarely visit: half again as long as a 10K, but well short of a half marathon. That makes it a strong spring target if you are building toward 13.1 miles later in the season, since it asks for real aerobic strength without the recovery cost of a longer race. Plan on six to eight weeks of steady mileage with one long run of 10 to 12 miles and a weekly tempo of 20 to 30 minutes. On race morning, go out at the pace you could hold for a hard hour, not your 10K pace, and give yourself room to press over the closing miles.
