Space Race

September 18, 2025 Huntsville, AL 35801 US

Space Race isn't just a 5k.

It's a happy hour, a healthy social outing and a way to get the most out of your 5-9.

It’s for the runners. The joggers. The run-walkers. The "I-signed-up-for-the-beer" folks.

If you want to be part of something active and social—without the pressure or early-morning intensity—this is your race.
