The Mullet Trail Run at Oak Mountain State Park

“Business in the Front, Party in the Back!”

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind trail race that’s all grit up front and all fun at the finish! The Mullet takes runners on a stunning, challenging journey through Oak Mountain State Park, starting with a fast-paced, well-groomed section of trail—pure business. But once you hit the Alabama Wildlife Center Treetop Bird Tunnel, the party begins! The route winds through breathtaking forest paths, leading you to the awe-inspiring Peavine Falls before descending into a finish line experience like no other.

At the end of your run, celebrate Appalachian style with an art and culture festival featuring live music, local crafts, and the best mountain hospitality Alabama has to offer. Whether you’re here to race hard or party harder, The Mullet is your perfect mix of adventure and celebration!

“Business in the Front, Party in the Back!”

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind trail race that’s all grit up front and all fun at the finish! We've endearingly called this course "The Mullet" as it takes runners on a stunning, challenging journey through Oak Mountain State Park, starting with a fast-paced, well-groomed section of trail—pure business. But once you hit the Alabama Wildlife Center Treetop Bird Tunnel, the party begins! The route winds through breathtaking forest paths, leading you to the awe-inspiring Peavine Falls before descending into a finish line experience like no other.
