Race Timing & Services

The Trak Shak is "running central" for Birmingham, AL and our goal is to support and be involved in every local race! First, visit Runner's World Race Director by clicking HERE to help give you an idea of where to start. Once you determine the date & location, shoot an email to jeff@trakshak.com, and we will list your race on our comprehensive race calendar. At worst, we can donate cups, coolers, and mile markers, and for a nominal fee, we can provide bib numbers, cloth bags, and race timing (includes database management, finish line chute equipment and set up, time clock rental and results reports). Email jeff@trakshak.com for details on pricing.
