The Walters Controls Mobile Marathon, presented by Infirmary Health, is a popular annual running event held in Mobile, Alabama, starting and finishing near Mardi Gras Park. Runners can choose from multiple distances, including a full marathon, a half marathon, a full marathon relay, a half marathon relay, and a non-competitive fun run. The full marathon course is a Boston Marathon qualifier, featuring a flat, double-loop path that winds through the city's historic districts and past beautiful Southern architecture. Importantly, all proceeds from the event support the First Light Community Foundation of Mobile, a non-profit dedicated to creating inclusive homes for people with and without intellectual disabilities. The event also offers a "Back-to-Back Challenge" for runners participating in races on both Saturday and Sunday of the marathon weekend.
