Run Your Heart Out.

May 21–23, 2027
Cahaba River Park | Shelby County, Alabama

Welcome to Heart of Cahaba Trail Daze, a brand-new Zombie Trail Races event and our most ambitious weekend yet!

Choose from 3-, 6-, 12-, 24-, 36-, or 48-hour races, or gather your friends for our 50K Night Relay. Whether you’re running your first trail race, chasing your longest run, or working toward 100 miles and beyond, there’s a place for you here.

THE COURSE

An approximately 3.1-mile wooded loop with roughly 150 feet of elevation gain and loss per lap. If you joined us for Trailtoberfest, you already know these trails!

Each lap returns you to the start/finish area, central aid station, personal supplies, and crew. Run, walk, rest, and repeat at your own pace.

Only full laps completed within your race’s time limit count. Partial laps and laps finished after the time limit do not count.

YOUR TRAILSIDE HOME BASE

Bring your tent, canopy, chairs, and crew! Set up around the horseshoe near the start/finish area and become part of our weekend trail village.

Return every lap to refuel, change gear, rest, and hear your people cheer you back onto the trail.

Follow race staff directions when setting up. Keep the course, timing area, aid station, and emergency access routes clear.

50K NIGHT RELAY

Our first relay brings a team element to the ZTR experience! Teams of 2–5 runners share approximately 50K, with 10 hours to finish.

One teammate runs at a time, with exchanges at the start/finish area. Bring your headlamps and spend the night trading laps and cheering each other on!

SWAG WORTH SHOWING OFF

Expect the original artwork and quality swag ZTR is known for: a custom event T-shirt, stickers featuring our psychedelic Trail Daze artwork, and finisher medals or buckles based on your race and achievement.

We’re putting the same care into what you take home as we put into your time on the trails.

AID AND CREW ACCESS

The central start/finish aid station is the hub of the weekend. Access aid, your crew, and personal supplies every lap.

NIGHT RUNNING

A headlamp or reliable running light is required after dark. Bring backup lighting and enough battery power for your overnight hours.

PARKING

Follow designated parking instructions and race staff directions. Keep roads and access points clear.

REFUND POLICY

All registrations are final. No refunds will be issued. Review the event details and your availability before registering.

Pick your distance. Gather your crew. Come spend some strange daze with the Zombies.
