Selma to Montgomery 51 Mile Relay and Bike Ride
Montgomery welcomes the Civil Rights Race Series and its athletes to The Capital City! Run in the historic footsteps of Martin Luther King Jr. and many others who marched the same 54 miles from Selma to Montgomery to make way for the national Voting Rights Act.
Afterward, celebrate by experiencing Montgomery’s rich history that tells the story of where we have been, but more importantly where we are going. From nationally renowned museums to upscale restaurants that are reviving the historical buildings of downtown Montgomery we've got something for everyone.
