The Anniston Runners Club is excited to share that the Publix Woodstock 5K will be the Road Runners Club of America's NATIONAL 5K Championship in 2027! We are incredibly proud of this opportunity to bring a national scope to our historic community event, proudly hosted in The City of Anniston, Alabama since 1981. On top of bringing together our local community, the Publix Woodstock 5K has attracted runners from all over the United States, and the success of the race would not be possible without the support of the RRCA.
