MLK Day 5K Drum Run - Birmingham

Get ready to lace up your sneakers and join us for a day filled with inspiration, fitness, and fellowship! The 8th Annual MLK Day 5K Drum Run brings our community together to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. through the spirit of togetherness and health. Whether you're an avid runner or prefer a leisurely walk, there's a spot for you with our 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk, 5K, and new 10K options—participate in person or virtually! Feel the beat of local drumlines who will energize your stride, and know that your steps support these musicians with a donation to their bands. Plus, connecting with amazing sponsors, snagging your race goodie bag, and rocking the official race shirt is all part of the experience. Team up with a nonprofit, church, school, or community group and fundraise while you race. Find all the details for registration, volunteering, and more; this is more than just a race, it's a celebration of what makes this holiday profound. Join us for an unforgettable MLK Day!
