Inaugural Russell Forest Run 10K Feb. 27

The driving force behind the inaugural Russell Forest Run is to help provide educational tools for the kids in the Alexander City School System. In this time of proration, teacher cuts, and program cuts – Russell Forest Run and race sponsors have teamed with the Alexander City Education Foundation to host a challenging race, raise a few dollars for the kids, and let runners have a great race in one of the most beautiful areas in the southeast – the Russell Forest.

From start to finish the Russell Forest Run measures 10K and carries runners over gently rolling hills on sand, clay, and gravel roads that were designed for bicycles and electric cars. The scenic route starts at Russell Crossroads, takes runners over to Kob’s Knob, up to Heaven Hill, and back to the finish line at Russell Crossroads. Following the 10K, there will be a one-mile fun run that will start at 9:00am near Catherine’s Market at Russell Crossroads. Runners from across the southeast are registering for this race. The 10K runners who register before January 16th will receive the inaugural Russell Athletic high performance long sleeve runner’s shirt.

Registration is $40.00 through January 16th and $50.00 until the day of the race. Register now and we will see you on February 27th. Visit the Russell Forest Run website for more details or to register online for this exciting event.
