Got Creek? offers off-road fun

Got Creek?

Organized by the Oak Mountain Runners Club, the Got Creek 5K is a race that’s billed as “a change of pace from the normal road.” Its route crosses a creek multiple times, so runners are encouraged to wear their old shoes.

The race, which supports youth athletics at Oak Mountain schools, is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. on Sept. 28 at Heardmont Park on Alabama Highway 119.

Participants who register before Sept. 8 pay only $25, and the fee includes a shirt. After Sept. 8, registration is $30. On race day, registration begins at 6 a.m. and is $35. Discounted rates are available for students and alumni of Oak Mountain schools.
