Half Marathon races near Prichard

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.

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.
