US 5K, 10K, and 13.1M

Lace up for an exhilarating summer challenge at the US 5K, 10K, and 13.1M event in Mobile, Alabama, on Saturday, July 18, 2026. This US Road Running Club Race welcomes athletes of all levels to enjoy a day of friendly competition and camaraderie. The races kick off bright and early at 8:00 AM CDT, providing a spirited start to help beat the typical July conditions, where highs often reach around 92°F and lows hover near 76°F, with a roughly 21% chance of precipitation.

Set in Mobile, AL, with a likely start and finish at 1711 Hillcrest Rd (often associated with Medal of Honor Park), runners will tackle an engaging out-and-back course. The 5K consists of two loops of a 1.56-mile segment, the 10K expands to four loops of the same route, and half marathoners will complete six loops of a 2.18-mile stretch. While specific elevation details aren't provided, the looping nature typically suggests a relatively flat and fast course, with sources highlighting a "scenic out-and-back course". Participants have a generous 3-hour and 30-minute time limit to conquer their chosen distance.

Beyond the personal bests, this event offers a festive atmosphere, complete with themed finisher medals for all who cross the finish line and an award for the best costume, adding a unique touch to your race day experience. Remember to register online in advance, as no on-site registration will be available, and plan to pick up your packet starting 30 minutes before race time.
