Join us on April 4, 2026 for the Thorsby Strawberry Sprint 5K, part of the town’s beloved annual Strawberry Fest celebration! This fast, out-and-back course begins at the intersection or Franklin Street and Alabama Ave, near Thorsby High School and follows County Road 37 South, passing open fields, charming historic homes, and even a historic cemetery. The route features a gentle incline on the return, making it a perfect course for personal bests.
The Check-In tent will be set up at Richard Wood Park.
The morning kicks off with the 5K at 8:00 a.m., open to runners, walkers, and even leashed furry friends. Afterward, kids can join the Fun Run inside Richard Wood Park, creating a family-friendly race day for all ages. The Kids Fun Run will begin at approximately 9:00 a.m.
The 5K race will be hand-timed. 5K Runners will receive a tshirt.
Kids Fun Runners will receive a finisher medal.
All profits from the event go to support the Jemison High School Cross Country Team, helping cover essential season costs and ensuring local student-athletes can continue to compete and thrive.
