Returning for the 6th year is the Salmon Run 5K!

Join us in honoring the memory of Paul "Fish" Salmon, a beloved brother and leader in the Theta Pi chapter of ATO at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Paul was diagnosed with leukemia in 2006 and underwent treatment at the Clearview Cancer Institute (CCI). All proceeds from the race and the accompanying wing festival will directly benefit Russell Hill Cancer Foundation and HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology. Thank you for your support. For more information visit https://battleofthebuffalo.org/.

First 125 runners will receive a Salmon Run 5K T-shirt.

Look out! We have a race location change this year. For 2026, the Salmon Run 5K will now be located on campus at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH)! The race will also be taking place a WEEK BEFORE Battle of the Buffalo. Thank you for your attention!

    “Racin’ the Station” Duathlon is a non-sanctioned USAT Run/Bike/Run event where the

    participants will “race” the International Space Station (ISS) as it completes one Earth

    orbit—91 minutes & 12 seconds. Marshall Space Flight Center will track the starting

    location of the ISS at the race start time and see who “beats” the Space Station by

    completing the event before the 91-minute & 12-second mark.

    Run pi = 3.14 km = 1.95 miles

    Bike e^pi = 23 km = 14.3 miles

    Run pi = 3.14 km = 1.95 miles

    Race starts at 8:15am on Saturday, September 27, 2025. Race is located on the Army's Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, AL where NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center is also located. Only US citizens are allowed on the Arsenal (unless already badged for official business). Locals that do NOT have access are encouraged to get a recreation badge (rec badge) through the Army (weeks in advance). Those that don't have access to military bases will either have to be escorted by someone who does have access (ride with another racer or spectator) or the race director will work access for you through the security process described during registration.
