Holiday Half Marathon & 8K Run

Saturday, December 3, 2022 • Point Clear, AL • Course Map

Organized and run by the Port City Pacers, the Mobile, Ala.-based running group that puts on a number of local races throughout the year, the Holiday Half Marathon & 8K Run has become something of a tradition in the Point Clear area, as it has attracted runners from around the state for the past several years.

The out-and-back race starts and finishes at Point Clear’s Mullet Point Park, and takes runners down to Pelican Point along County Road 1 for most of the race, with a brief detour onto Highway 27 for an out-and-back three miles, and then back onto CR 1 for the remainder of the race, which runners follow along the course they just ran back toward the finish line.

The race benefits the USA Children’s and Women’s Hospital Pediatrics Department, and race organizers encourage all runners to bring a new toy in its original wrapping to the race, which will be given out as Christmas and holiday gifts to children in the hospital.
