Race Information

The Rumpshaker 5K is the largest free standing 5K in Alabama and we have had the privilege of hosting over 30,000 participants since 2009.  We have raised over a million dollars over the past 12 years while promoting awareness about colorectal cancer.

This event is a fun, family friendly experience; runners and walkers of all ages are welcome.  Together we can make a difference by bringing attention to colorectal cancer, a preventable, treatable and beatable disease.
