Description
The Anniston Runners Club (ARC) and our members invite you to our premier annual event, the historic Woodstock 5K and Kidstock 1K! The 2025 race has been named the RRCA NATIONAL 5K Championship. Woodstock is a fun and healthy community event where more than 1000 runners and walkers come to shake their tail feathers! Go ahead and mark your calendar for August 2, 2025, for one of the oldest footraces in the southeast!
Woodstock is an exciting 5K with our new PUBLIX finish line, our fun-for-the-whole-family events on Woodstock Avenue, and a relaxing post-race celebration with local vendors and awards! It has been over 10 years since the course record was broken by male and female runners. Any individual who breaks the course record (male or female divisions) will receive an additional $500! That is a potential of $1000 total for the overall winners! For more information on awards and other race details, visit the WOODSTOCK WEBPAGE.
Don't forget to check out our ever-so-popular Team Challenge! Team runners have a chance to win a cash prize for the team with the most participants and for the fastest male, female, and coed team.
Please enjoy the hospitality Annistonians and Alabamians are famous for. We promise you won't leave Woodstock disappointed - our runners, volunteers, and community guarantee it!

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
1. I already registered and forgot to join a team, what can I do? Under your RunSignUp account (click the head icon in the corner), you can manage your registration. Go to My Registrations in the drop-down menu, then select Manage Registration under the Woodstock 5K section. On desktop, select Woodstock 5K Team from the navigation menu at the top. On mobile, this menu is at the bottom of the page. You can add yourself to a team or change to another team.
2. I am unable to run this year. What can I do? We do not offer refunds or deferrals; this is signed and agreed upon as part of the waiver during registration. You were offered race insurance for $3.99 during the registration process. However, you may transfer your entry to another runner or another Anniston Runners Club race. A $5 fee will be charged to the transferred runner during the process. You will need their email to complete the transfer. This is all managed under your RunSignUp account (click the head icon in the corner). Go to My Registrations in the drop-down menu, then select Manage Registration under the Woodstock 5K section. You will have a number of options depending on what you would like to do with your registration.
3. Can I run with my dog? The waiver signed during registrations explains that no dogs are allowed on the course for insurance purposes. However, if you have a service dog, you will need to contact the race and supply the proper documentation. The dog must be labeled on race day as a service dog. For those with vision-related disabilities, we prefer you have a guide runner. We will offer a free entry to the guide runner. Contact the race to make arrangements.
4. Can I change my shirt size? Under your RunSignUp account (click the head icon in the corner), you can manage your registration. Go to My Registrations in the drop-down menu, then select Manage Registration under the Woodstock 5K section.

If the stock is still available in the new desired size, you will be able to change your selection.
5. Can I give my Bib to another runner? ONLY if you go through the transfer process under your RunSignUp account. Giving your bib away without transferring the entry can result in delays for awards and results. You MUST transfer your entry as part of this process; please do not give your bib to another runner without doing so.
