Festivities planned for Village 2 Village 10K

Mountain Brook’s premier running event, the Village 2 Village 10K, will return this year on Saturday, March 5. 

The race, which begins on Lane Park Road by the Birmingham Botanical Gardens and finishes on Canterbury Road in Mountain Brook Village, winds through several iconic Mountain Brook neighborhoods.

The 10K will begin at 8 a.m., with race-day registration starting at 6 a.m. in the Western Supermarket parking lot. Advance registration can be completed online, with packet pickup taking place at the Cahaba Village Mountain High Outfitters from 10 a.m.–7 p.m.

Advance registration for adults is $35 per runner, and $20 for students 18 years old and younger. Registration day-of will be $40. T-shirts are guaranteed for the first 500 registrants, but the Mountain Brook Chamber of Commerce recommends registering early, as there were more than 700 participants in the 2015 event.

Awards will be presented to the top overall runner in the male and female divisions, as well as first through third awards in the five-year age brackets.

After the race, participants and residents are invited to an after-party on Canterbury Road. The party will feature music, food and prizes, and is open to the public.
