The Daily Birmingham

The Blazer Bolt for Brain Cancer 5K is scheduled for May 16-17, 2026, in Birmingham, Alabama, according to listings on Running in the USA.

Local runners track these posted dates because the city calendar fills quickly with charity and community races. Birmingham hosts multiple events each year that draw participants from neighborhoods across the metro area, and advance notice helps training groups plan routes and entry fees.

Posted Dates for Fall and Winter Races

The Y It Matters 5K & Fun Run runs from September 16 to December 13, 2025, in Birmingham, Alabama, per Eventbrite listings. The Megan Montgomery 5K Run/Walk is set for October 25, 2025, also in Birmingham. The Bluff Park 8K, sometimes listed as 10K in earlier editions, is scheduled for December 6, 2025, in Birmingham. These dates appear on Eventbrite and Find a Race calendars that cover Alabama events.

The KultureCity Birmingham Race for the 13.1M and 5K distances is listed for November 22, 2024, with notes that 2026 details require fresh verification from the same platforms. No finish-line times, participant counts, or course conditions from any recent race appear in the current records.

Next Steps for Local Participants

Runners can check the listed URLs on Running in the USA, Eventbrite, and Find a Race for entry forms and course maps. Organizers typically update registration windows several months ahead, and checking those sites remains the direct way to confirm start times and packet pickup locations in Birmingham.
