Everything but the shoes.
Real running socks, a bib belt, anti-chafe — the cheap upgrades that matter.
About this race
Red Shoe Run: Rockin’ 5K brings music, movement, and community to downtown Birmingham
for a high-energy morning that helps families stay close to their child’s medical care.
Every registration helps provide a place to rest, warm meals, and comfort for families staying at Ronald McDonald House Alabama.
Run the 5K, take a stroll in the 1 Mile Fun Run, or support from your pillow as a Snoozer.
However you join in, you’re helping families be there when their child needs them most.
The fun doesn’t stop at the finish line. Stick around for a DJ, awards, and a celebration of what we can make possible together.
Lace up. Show up. Make Family Stays possible.
Special thanks to our 2027 Red Shoe Run Committee!
Co-Chair: Amber Harbison & Caleb Mills
