BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - After more than two decades, the Birmingham Mercedes Marathon’s founder announced Monday that the race had run its course.

Valerie Cuddy, Mercedes Marathon Organizer, said, “I think a lot of things have gone on with many resources involved with the event. A lot of people who have aged out, and retired were involved in the past. A lot of sponsors have moved on or have changed ownership. There have been all kinds of things.”

The final race weekend in Birmingham will be Feb. 10-12, 2023.

Cuddy said she was no longer able to support the event financially.

Really hoping that they move this to Hoover or another one of the over-the-mountain communities. There's already a call to make it happen.
