The Tuscaloosa Marines 5K Memorial Run

The Mike Spann Detachment has enjoyed support of the running community, and many other interested supporters, for our annual 5K run. Like many other such endeavors, this was interrupted by the Covid-19 crisis. We appreciate our friends and partners in the community who have continued to support us during the pandemic, and as we move forward serving Marines in west Alabama.


For 2024 our cross-country 5K event will take place on Saturday morning, 17 February 2024 at Sokol Park, off Ol' Colony Road in Tuscaloosa.
