About this race

The 18th annual Freaky Friday 8K takes place on a scenic yet scary course during the darkness. There will be a post-race awards ceremony complete with food and drinks at Dreamland Barbecue along with a costume contest prior to the start of the run. Local radio stations and craft beer will also be on hand for registered runners.

Packet pickup will be at Dreamland BBQ at 101 Bridge Ave, Northport, AL, Thursday, October 29, 2026, from 5pm-6pm.

****The Freaky Friday 8k is a proud partner of the Tuscaloosa Runners' Championship (TRC), presented by Fleet Feet Tuscaloosa. The TRC is a season-long competitive series connecting seven local races from October through May, where runners earn points at each event toward a citywide leaderboard. Every finisher earns points, and the top runners in each age group compete for series titles at the Championship Finale 10K on May 15, 2027. Register for this race and start building your season. Full standings and series information available at FleetFeetTuscaloosa.com. ****
