About the Race

Race for a Reason is more than a 5K, it’s a chance to show up for our community and the animals who need us most. Join us for a fun, family-friendly run at Pinnacle Turkey Creek on April 26th as we come together to support the Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley, a local nonprofit dedicated to providing care, shelter, and second chances for animals in need. Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, every step makes a difference. Proceeds from this year’s race will directly benefit the Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley, helping fund lifesaving programs, medical care, and adoption services for animals across our region. Lace up your shoes, bring your friends and race for a cause that truly matters. 🐾💙

This route is a mix of shaded residential streets and open stretches, offering a pleasant balance of community charm and energy. Water stations will be located along the course, and signage will clearly mark all turns and checkpoints. Whether you're running for a personal best or just for fun, this route is perfect for a fast and festive race day experience!
