Ghost-to-Gobble 5k & 1-Mile

Ghost-to-Gobble 5k & 1-Mile is held in Conway, Arkansas, on November 7, 2026, on a course that takes in the main sites of the UCA campus. The 8K (5 miles) starts at 7:30 a.m., the 5K at 8 a.m. and the one-mile at 9 a.m. The route is USATF certified and professionally timed, with aid stations and medical support along the way. Every finisher receives a medal and an event shirt, the top three men and women earn awards, and wheelchair athletes are welcome.

Costumes are part of the deal, with the event blending Halloween and Thanksgiving themes, so dress accordingly. The certified 8K is the pick if you want a time that counts for something; the staggered starts also make it realistic to run the mile after a shorter race if you want two efforts in one morning.
