Mercedes Marathon & Half Marathon
Birmingham, AL

Date

Sunday, February 10, 2008


Event Details

A full weekend of races with a marathon, half marathon, children's marathon, 5K road race and a 5-person marathon relay, the Mercedes Half Marathon features a course that starts and ends near Birmingham's City Hall and makes a loop through downtown.

The event's signature "balloon lady," the official last finisher of the race, brings up the rear to remind runners of the 4-hour time limit for the half (and the 6-hour time limit for the full marathon); the Birmingham police are reportedly strict about enforcing the time limit, so pick up the pace if you catch a glimpse.


Race Weather & Climate

On the day of the race, temperatures in Birmingham average between 36°F and 58°F.
