Oak Mountain State Park
Start your Independence Day on the right foot with the Birmingham Track Club as it presents the 33rd annual Rick Melanson Peavine Falls Run July 4 at Oak Mountain State Park. The 8.2-mile out-and-back run starts at the Dogwood Pavilion and runs 3.5 miles to the Peavine Falls parking lot. The return trip is on the same road but takes a scenic 1.2-mile single track detour back to the picnic area. The race begins at 7 a.m. Walkers are also welcome and will start at 6:30 a.m. For the first time the race will be chip-timed, and awards will be given to the top 10 males and top 10 females. Admission is $15. Oak Mountain State Park is at 200 Terrace Drive in Pelham. For more information or to register for the run, visit www.birminghamtrackclub.com.
