Holiday 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Piedmont, AL

Holiday 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Piedmont, AL brings a half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K and a 5K to Piedmont, Alabama, on December 5, 2026, with every distance starting at 8 a.m. The routes are laid out to show off the town, and every finisher collects a medal. Holiday costumes are part of the deal, with prizes for the best of them.

Road running, then, with a festive frame around it. If you are pointing at the half, treat it as the end of a twelve to sixteen week block rather than a jog in fancy dress: the 13.1 does not get shorter because you are wearing tinsel. Runners with less mileage behind them will get more out of the 10K, which is long enough to hurt honestly and short enough to recover from in a few days. Whatever you enter, pick a costume you can actually run in.
