Marathon Through Mountain Brook Rescheduled Due To Weather

MOUNTAIN BROOK, AL - Due to some potentially severe weather Sunday, the BHM 26.2 marathon originally scheduled for Sunday has been rescheduled for April 28. The race's route through Mountain Brook was supposed to cause road closures near Mountain Brook Village Sunday, but those closures will not occur until the rescheduled date.

"While we are disappointed to have to postpone the race, the safety of our runners, volunteers and attendees is of the utmost importance, and we are unwilling to risk their safety," said BHM26.2 Race Director Jeremy Walker. "The entire BHM26.2 team is grateful for the opportunity to reschedule the race, and we look forward to hosting a safe event on April 28. We appreciate the flexibility and understanding of everyone involved, as well as the gracious support extended to BHM 26.2, Magic Moments and Children's of Alabama."
