Run For Kids Challenge

The Run For Kids Challenge is a fundraising event held at Oak Mountain State Park, benefiting Smile-A-Mile, an organization that supports families affected by childhood cancer. Established in 2011, the event features a 12-hour endurance race and a 10K run, with all proceeds beyond basic expenses donated to Smile-A-Mile. Participants can also engage in the Kids Half, a free 0.5-mile race for children.

The course consists of a 3.4-mile loop, with runners completing multiple laps. The event emphasizes community involvement and encourages additional donations to support its mission of providing hope and healing to families during their cancer journey.
