The Experience

The Eagle Half Marathon in Gadsden, Alabama, presents a distinctive running experience on a pea gravel trail, offering 5K, 10K, and 13.1M distances. The course is an out-and-back design, with the half marathon completing six repetitions of a 3.18-mile loop.

Runners should be prepared for a typical race-day temperature range of 72–88°F, making for a potentially warm challenge. The race has a generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes, accommodating a wide range of paces. Finisher medals and shirts are provided, with opportunities for costume awards and series points.

Located behind the Gadsden Mall, the race starts promptly at 8:00 AM, with packet pickup available shortly before. While the event is held on a trail, it is described as having minimal elevation change, suggesting a relatively flat profile.

Race-provided description

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help.
