The Gobbler 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon in Stillwater begins at 8:00 AM from Shelter #3 at Boomer Lake Park, located on the west side of the lake near the Boomer Park Splash Pad. This US Road Running event offers three distances, all on repeat out-and-back courses. Registration must be completed online via RunSignup prior to race day, as there is no on-site registration.

The 10K repeats this loop twice, and the half marathon uses its own out-and-back course four times. Pacing and lap management are key considerations. The course time limit is 3 hours and 30 minutes. Medals will be given to all finishers, and awards will be presented. Series points contribute to US Road Running standings. A best costume award complements the Gobbler theme.
