The Tuscaloosa Tourism & Sports Half Marathon is the longest distance running race held in Tuscaloosa Alabama each year. Runners get a sampling of the rolling hills along the Black Warrior River, the Tuscaloosa River Walk, portions of the University of Alabama campus, and some quaint downtown neighborhoods. The Start and Finish line is located at Government Plaza where participants have plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the event.
FRESHJUNKIE Racing (FJR) is committed to keeping this popular race a local favorite as well as regional attraction for runners from all over the Southeast.

Portions of registration proceeds are directed to these wonderful organizations as well as other volunteer and philanthropic groups.

This was my first time in Tuscaloosa and I had great time. The Tuscaloosa Half was an enjoyable race and with the exception of one downhill near the start and one uphill around mile 5 it was a mostly flat course. The course ran parallel to the Riverwalk along the Black Warrior River before heading to the Alabama campus enroute to the finish at Government Plaza in downtown Tuscaloosa. There was plenty of free parking adjacent to the start line at Government Plaza, so early morning race logistics were very easy. Post race food was very good (bbq pork sliders and thin crust pizza) and beer was available as well. Weather in Tuscaloosa this time of year is very pleasant and with flowers blooming, the area was pretty scenic.
Great for seeing the best of Tuscaloosa
Sharp hill climb to start, but smooth sailing from that point on. I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this race and hope to do it again some day! MORE
