Welcome to the 34th running of the Ellis Porch Statue to Statue 15k. Starting in the shadow of Vulcan’s statue and finishing near the Statue of Liberty, the race winds its way through the scenic neighborhoods of Mountain Brook, Alabama. The course gently rolls and is generally downhill for the first six miles. Runners then head up a pair of hills that are among the most challenging you’ll find. The reward for climbing the hills is a fast mile-and-a-half downhill finish that’s sure to generate the quickest splits you’ve ever run. Yes, it’s a challenging course but you haven’t run Birmingham until you run the race we like to call The South’s Toughest 15k!

This race is hosted by the Birmingham Track Club (BTC). In addition to many other benefits of membership, current BTC members receive a discounted entry to this race. If you are not already a member of the BTC, you will have the option to join when you register for this race.

Race Benefits:
FOOD FOR OUR JOURNEY
https://www.foodforourjourney.org 

Exists to deliver meals to the hungry, putting God’s love into action.

FOOD FOR OUR JOURNEY is a faith-based initiative which utilizes a food truck to deliver food to the hungry, thus removing the travel requirement for those who are not mobile.

​This problem is inherently present for those who are food insecure and are unable to access the fixed meal distribution locations during the hours when meals are being distributed, leaving them hungry and in desperate need of food.

​FFOJ serves seven days a week, building relationships with our street friends allowing trust to develop where they feel safe to share with us their immediate needs. From needing assistance with medicine, clothing and hygiene, to obtaining IDs, employment and/or housing, FFOJ is able to network with our sister agencies and “plug in” our brothers and sisters, ensuring these needs can be met and helping them toward their ultimate goal of ending their homelessness. https://www.foodforourjourney.org/

RACE BENEFITS

The Jimmie Hale Mission Ministries:
For three-quarters of a century, the Jimmie Hale Mission has been helping men afflicted by homelessness in downtown Birmingham through education, remediation, job readiness, and spiritual support. To combat the current plague of substance abuse in our community, the Mission has shifted its focus from rescue to recovery. By addressing these deeper challenges, we can help our clients once again become self-sufficient and productive citizens.

This dynamic approach to recovery and independence is offered for free to those in need. Our mission is to transform adults directly affected by homelessness, poverty-thinking, and/or addiction, into those who lead healthy, self-sufficient, and productive lives for the glory of God. Genuine transformation begins here.
