The Singing River Runs, set for April 11, 2026, in the charming, historic town of Mooresville, Alabama, offers a unique trail experience for runners of all levels with 25K, 10K, and 5K distances. Starting and finishing at the picturesque Singing River House, runners will journey along packed dirt and gravel roads, winding through the scenic 1818 Farms and alongside the river. The courses are noted for their forgiving, flat, and fast terrain, providing a welcome change from open roads with ample tree canopy for shade. This event, now in its fourth year, is held in conjunction with the Blue Heron Hundreds, fostering a vibrant atmosphere where participants can stay after their race to enjoy music, snacks, and cheer on ultra-runners. Typical race day conditions in April offer pleasant highs around 73°F and lows near 48°F, with only an 18% chance of precipitation.

More than just a race, the Singing River Runs is a benefit for the ambitious Singing River Trail initiative, a planned 200+ mile greenway system designed to connect communities and enhance health, wellness, and economic opportunities across North Alabama. Runners can expect a supportive and encouraging atmosphere, with no time limits on the courses, making it ideal for both seasoned athletes and newcomers to trail running. The start and finish area is conveniently located at 4865 Arrowhead Landing Road, with parking available nearby along Old Highway 20. Participants will find the courses shaded and welcoming, providing a beautiful backdrop to their running endeavors.
