Steps, Smiles & Sunshine: Magnolia Run 2025 Brings Community Together in Magnolia Springs

November 8, 2025 | Magnolia Springs, AL — On a beautiful morning in Magnolia Springs, the streets came alive as nearly 300 runners, walkers, and their four-legged companions gathered for the 2025 Magnolia Run! From the first step off the starting line, the energy was contagious—friends, families, and neighbors cheered each other on as participants navigated the USATF-certified 5K course lined with majestic oak trees, blooming azaleas, and historic homes. Dozens of spirited runners also took part in the 1-Mile Fun Run, bringing laughter, playful competition, and even more excitement to the morning.

The Magnolia Run is more than just a race—it’s a celebration of community, fitness, and the joy of being outdoors. Dogs wagged their tails alongside their owners, friends high-fived across the course, and smiles were shared from start to finish. It was a day that perfectly blended competition with camaraderie and fun with fitness.
