Area Runners Lace Up for Mayor’s 5K

Put on your traveling shoes.  You don't have to go far. Just 5K, and it's for a great cause!

On Saturday, April 27, walkers and runners will take to Tuscaloosa streets for the Mayor's Cup 5K, which supports Mayor Maddox's Pre-K Initiative. According to the event's website, this is the 13th year for it; and the 5k has raised more than $272,000 for the Tuscaloosa Pre-K Initiative.

The course map shows the race both starting and ending at Government Plaza, with numerous landmarks in between including Temerson Square, Bryant-Denny Stadium, and The Strip.
