RRCA Update

Alex Morrow, BTC President and RRCA Alabama State Representative has announced that The Vulcan Run has once again been named the RRCA Alabama State Championship 10k race.  He noted that “all of us at the Birmingham Track Club are honored to have that designation. The RRCA only picks races to be championship events if they stand up to the high standards outlined by their organization. The race must be professionally managed, organized, executed, and be a favorite among those who participate. The Vulcan Run 10k is definitely a race of that caliber, and we expect another fantastic running this year."

Long known as “The South’s Premiere 10k,” local runners have made The Vulcan Run a favorite hometown tradition, but the race has become a favorite among elite runners as well.  The crisp weather, fall leaves and scenic course also make the race enjoyable for spectators and participants alike.

Allison Stone, Race Director for The Vulcan Run, acknowledged that “[w]e are extremely honored to be the RRCA Alabama State 10k Championship event, yet we have our sights set even higher as we are striving to once again become the designated Regional 10km Championship event in the very near future. Looking ahead even further, our ultimate goal is to continue to grow and improve in order to contend for the National 10k Championship designation. We believe this is a very realistic and attainable goal for us, as The Vulcan Run has long been considered one of the South’s premier running events."
