There will be a 1hr and 5min cutoff. We ask that you please respect the state park and volunteers and adhere to this cutoff time. The race cap is 1500 runners. You will have the option to select which wave you want to participate in based upon availability when registering online. There is a cap of 250 runners per wave so once one wave is sold out, you need to select your second wave choice.

Packet pickup will be on Saturday September 19, 2026 at RunningLane from 12-5pm. RunningLane is located at 2407 Memorial Parkway SW, Ste 1, Huntsville, AL 35801. There will also be packet pickup at the race on Sunday from 7:30AM-10:00am. Please arrive 1 hour before your wave start. 

Due to the interest in this race and the size of the cave, we will have multiple heats or "waves" of 250 runners each. Each wave will go off 30 minutes after the first.

Example:
9:00am: Wave 1
9:30am: Wave 2
10:00am: Wave 3
10:30am: Wave 4
11:00am: Wave 5

We are unable to move runners from different waves once you select and register for a wave. Please be sure to sign up kids, friends and family members at the same time to ensure you all are in the same wave on race day.
