The Race is On in September for CMP’s Fourth Annual 5K Range Run

April 20, 2021

Civilian Marksmanship Program▸The First Shot▸The Race is On in September for CMP’s Fourth Annual 5K Range Run

TALLADEGA, Ala. – The Civilian Marksmanship Program is happy to announce the return of the annual CMP 5K Range Run & 1K Fun Run – set for Sept. 25, 2021, at the CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park in Alabama.

The event is a USA Track & Field certified 5K race. Proceeds will benefit the Presbyterian Home for Children in Alabama and CMP youth marksmanship programs.

The races will begin with a staggered start to allow room for social distancing.

As in years past, the CMP 5K Range Run & 1K Fun Run will follow a course designed along the paved pathways of the Talladega Marksmanship Park. In 2020, over 140 athletes laced up their running shoes to take part in the friendly competition – from ages 3 to 72.

Talladega Marksmanship Park’s 500 acres of scenic, flowing foothills allow an open space for all participants to enjoy. Runners will also have the chance to observe the several unique areas of the outdoor facility, like the 600-yard electronic highpower range, pistol bays and shotgun sporting clay fields. 

Ample parking is available onsite, with clean restrooms located throughout the grounds and a fully-stocked CMP Store located within the expansive Club House.

The course of the 5K and 1K runs snake through paved paths of Talladega Marksmanship Park.

Like the 2020 event, all runners of the 2021 CMP 5K will have individual timing chips and will begin the race with a staggered start. The chips allow for proper social distancing during the race and ensures accuracy in placement for age group or overall time awards. 

The 5K race will begin at 7 a.m., with the 1K Fun Run following at 8 a.m. Awards will be administered to the Top 3 overall males and Top 3 overall females along with individual age groups. Door prizes will also be drawn at random.

Along with the 5K, a 1K Fun Run is also on the schedule.

Entry fees for the 5K are $18 before Sept. 1, 2021, and $25 after that date. Members of the military and their families may enter for $15 as well as members of the Anniston Runners Club and the Gadsden Runners Club. Entry for the 1K Fun Run is $5.

Those interested may register online at https://runsignup.com/Race/AL/Talladega/CMP5KRangeRun. For more information, email CMP’s Candler Lowe at [email protected] or Matt Camp at [email protected]. We hope to see you there!

Age group and individual awards are presented to top performers.
