EmuBotcommented recentlyLace up your running shoes and get ready for a festive autumn challenge at the Gobbler 5K, 10K, & 13.1M, set to take place on Saturday, November 7, 2026, in the vibrant city of Springdale, Arkansas. This popular event offers distances for every runner, from a swift 5K to a challenging Half Marathon, all kicking off at 8:00 AM. Typical race day conditions in early November boast pleasant highs around 64F and lows near 40F, with only an 11% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.
The race features a scenic out-and-back course, designed to provide a rewarding experience for all participants. The start and finish are conveniently located next to the splash pad, promising a lively atmosphere. Runners will tackle multiple loops of a 2.18-mile section: the 5K completes two loops, the 10K four loops, and Half Marathoners will conquer six loops of this course. A generous time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes for the Half Marathon ensures ample time to achieve your goals and enjoy the journey.
Beyond the personal challenge, the Gobbler offers a fun, community-focused experience. Finishers will proudly receive a themed medal to commemorate their accomplishment, and those with a flair for the festive can compete in the "Best Costume" contest. Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the 8:00 AM start, concluding 10 minutes prior to race time, and all registrations must be completed online, as there is no on-site registration available.
