Smile-A-Mile Place
The Smile-A-Mile (SAM) 5K is our annual 5K and 1M Fun Run, hosted by the Junior Board of Directors, at Smile-A-Mile Place in downtown Birmingham! This is a family friendly event open to runners, walker and strollers, however, we encourage everyone to run as much as possible to help get streets re-opened in a timely manner.
For 2021, the SAM 5K will return to an in-person event at SAM Place. Post-race activities will be limited and social distancing will be encouraged. For those who are unable or do not wish to attend in-person, we have a virtual option so you can run, walk or stroll your own route while still supporting SAM.
