Gobbler 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Jackson, TN (46) 2026

The Gobbler 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon in Jackson, Tennessee, begins at 8:30 AM. The start line is situated next to a playground, with parking available by the tennis courts. Participants can select from three paved race options: a 5K, a 10K, or a half marathon. All participants must register in advance via RunSignup, as on-site registration is not available. Packet pickup commences 30 minutes prior to the start and concludes 10 minutes before the race commences. The course design is straightforward and consists of repeated out-and-back segments. Runners complete these segments until they reach their chosen distance. The 5K course involves two repetitions of the out-and-back segment, the 10K requires four repetitions, and the half marathon involves six repetitions of a longer out-and-back. This format clarifies the race structure beforehand, though the repeated passes necessitate sustained runner focus. The course has a time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes.
