Gobbler 5K, 10K & 13.1M at Cypress, TX

Gobbler 5K, 10K & 13.1M at Cypress, TX is a three-distance event in Cypress, Texas, on November 28, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K and the 5K all start at 8:00 a.m., each on a scenic course, with a medal for every finisher. It is put on for competitive runners and fitness runners alike, so the same start line holds people racing 13.1 miles and people covering their first 5K.

For a first 5K, the useful preparation is frequency rather than distance: four short runs a week for six weeks will get you to the line ready. Moving up to the 10K, add one longer run at the weekend. The half marathon is the only distance that changes your week significantly, needing a long run that grows steadily to about 11 miles over roughly twelve weeks, plus enough easy running around it to absorb the load. All three fields share the gun, so seed yourself by pace.
