XTERRA Oak Mountain Trail Run - 5km

Celebrate the healthy, active, outdoors lifestyle with XTERRA and raise funds for Children’s Hospital of Alabama all while enjoying the great nature trails at Oak Mountain State Park. Take a stroll in the XTERRA 5k or lace ‘em up for the 5k or 10k trail runs and $10 from every $25 entry will go to Children’s Hospital. In addition to the races, families will find all sorts of fun things to do at the sports festival down by the lake with free kids running and bike races, obstacle courses, music, displays, great food and good times.

Proceeds to benefit Children's Hospital. Children's Hospital of Alabama is the 10th busiest pediatric medical center in the United States. Located in Birmingham, Children's is one of only about 45 freestanding acute care hospitals of its kind in the nation and the only hospital in Alabama dedicated solely to the care and treatment of children. It is licensed for 275 beds.

Children's is home to the state's only Level I pediatric trauma center, the only pediatric renal care center, the largest pediatric burn center in the Southeast and is one of the largest pediatric outpatient centers in the nation. The UAB Division of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at Children's Hospital is Alabama's single largest provider of specialized pediatric services for all forms of cancer, leukemia, brain and spinal cord tumors, hemophilia and other blood disorders and sickle cell diseases. Children's treats 95-percent of the children in Alabama diagnosed with childhood cancers and other blood disorders, and offers the only pediatric bone marrow transplant program in the state.

Children's is a private, not-for-profit hospital governed by a volunteer board of trustees. The hospital was recently recognized for the excellence of its nursing care by achieving Magnet designation from the American Nurses Credential Center. Children's will celebrate its centennial anniversary in 2011.
