Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Gobbler 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Mobile, AL (45)

The Gobbler 5K, 10K, and 13.1M in Mobile, Alabama, offers three distances: 5K, 10K, and half marathon. All races begin at 8:00 AM. Registration must be completed on RunSignup prior to race day, as there is no on-site signup. Packet pickup is brief, opening 30 minutes before the start and closing 10 minutes before the race. The course is an out-and-back design. The 5K and 10K share a segment, with the 5K completing it twice and the 10K completing it four times. The half marathon uses a longer out-and-back segment, repeated six times. The race has a 3 hour 30 minute time limit, with finisher medals and awards presented. Series points are awarded, and a best costume prize adds a playful holiday element.

Coastal Half Marathon, 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run

The Coastal Half Marathon, 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run is a post-Thanksgiving race weekend in Orange Beach, Alabama. It offers three distances: a half marathon, a 5K, and a 1-mile fun run. The half marathon is for runners age 15 and up; the shorter events are suitable for families and mixed groups. The races utilize paved sections of Gulf State Park’s Backcountry Trail, avoiding busy beach-road running. The course winds through the coastal park landscape near Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. This event marks its 19th running and embraces its holiday timing. Participants often attend after Thanksgiving, running with family or friends, and conclude near the Gulf air, rather than making the race a separate trip.

Mobile Marathon

The Mobile Marathon begins and ends at Mardi Gras Park on Royal Street in downtown Mobile, Alabama. This January road race offers multiple participation options: a full marathon, half marathon, full marathon relay, half marathon relay, and a fun run. The race is closely associated with the First Light Community Foundation of Mobile, with all events supporting its mission. First Light Community of Mobile establishes shared residences where individuals with and without intellectual disabilities reside together, giving the weekend a local charitable objective beyond the finish line. Infirmary Health is the presenting sponsor, and Walters Controls, Inc., a Mobile company established in 1995 with over 25 years in HVAC controls, is a title sponsor.

Big Beach Marathon, Half Marathon & Safari 5K

The Big Beach Marathon weekend begins and ends at The Hangout in Gulf Shores, Alabama, directing runners onto paved trails within Gulf State Park. The primary Sunday events are a marathon and a half marathon, both level, quick, and USATF certified for Boston qualification. Saturday includes the Safari 5K and a family fun run/walk without timing. The series offers back-to-back race options for participants seeking multiple events. The Dolphin Challenge combines the 5K with the half marathon. The Shark Challenge pairs the 5K with the full marathon. Challenge finishers receive additional medals, shirts, and beer tickets. Virtual options for the marathon, half marathon, Dolphin Challenge, and Shark Challenge are available for remote participation.

Sea Turtle & Sweetheart Running Festival

The Sea Turtle & Sweetheart Running Festival is a beach-side running event in Gulf Shores, Alabama. All races start and finish at The Hangout on East Beach Boulevard. Runners can select the Sea Turtle Half Marathon, True Love 10K, Sweetheart 5K Run/Walk, or Be Mine 1 Mile. This variety accommodates those seeking a timed longer race and those preferring a short run or walk by the beach. The half marathon begins first, followed later in the morning by the 10K, 5K, and mile. All four races are timed, and awards are available for competitors. The Hangout also hosts the post-race party. Each registration includes food and beer tickets; beer is restricted to participants aged 21 and over. The race names reflect both the sea turtle theme and the Valentine’s timing, lending the festival a more relaxed, social atmosphere compared to a standard single-distance road race.

About Half Marathon races in Mobile

Mobile Training Notes

Mobile hosts 6 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run Downtown Mobile when they want steady base miles without thinking too hard. The 7 mile loop runs on Government Street, Dauphin Street, and Old Shell Road through shady, tree-lined neighborhoods. The 4 mile perimeter loop works when you want simple Z2. Glenn Sebastian Trail gives TrailYeah a Wednesday 6:00 PM run from the University of South Alabama trail head. MOB Pacers meets Monday and Thursday at 5:45 PM at Christ Church Cathedral for 5 miles. Port City Pacers, Mobile Marathon, Mobile Half Marathon, Jailbreak 5K, and Keesler Federal Battleship 12K keep the calendar honest.

Locals ride flat first, then go hunting for little punches. Blakeley State Park gives riders over 16 miles of trails and a paved bike path loop of about 9 miles. Eastern Shore Trail keeps the coastal spin long, flat, and beach-y with classic water, sand, and beach shack views. Mobile Bay Riders Cycling Club runs the local group-ride orbit, with member meet-up rides through the club Facebook group. Mobilians On Bikes Rides and ProCycle and Tri Shop Rides fill in more wheels. Crossley Hill Dr gives the named climb, and West Mobile gives dirt, gravel, sandy sections, and intervals. Pedal Through The Pines works as the anchor event.

October treats both sports best because the month runs slightly drier than the rest of the Gulf Coast year. July and August bring the wettest stretch, and locals shift runs and rides early when the heat and humidity get heavy. Summer base miles still happen, but Mobile rewards shade, water stops, and honest pacing more than big midday efforts. Winter stays mild and rainy, so runners keep Mobile Half Marathon goals alive while cyclists keep group rides rolling between wet spells. January can still surprise you, because Mobile Half Marathon race morning has been 45°F with a 12 mph north wind and 70% humidity.
