Raven Run 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run for St. Benedict German Festival

Raven Run 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run for St. Benedict German Festival is held in Elberta, Alabama, on April 24, 2027, alongside the St. Benedict German Festival. The Raven Run 5K, covering 3.1 miles, starts at 7:45 AM, and the 1 Mile Fun Run and Walk follows at 8:45 AM. No elevation gain is published for either course.

The early start is welcome in coastal Alabama, where late April mornings warm up quickly, so plan to be at the start with time to spare rather than jogging in from the parking lot. The 5K rewards a controlled first mile and a hard last one; the fun run gives children and walkers a distance they can finish without training for it. If the 5K is a first race, six weeks of running three times a week will have you ready to enjoy the festival afterward.
