Gobbler 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Piedmont, AL

Gobbler 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Piedmont, AL runs in Piedmont, Alabama, on November 7, 2026, with the half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K and the 5K all off at 8 a.m. Three distances on one start line make it straightforward to pick whichever effort suits your current shape.

Pick the distance that matches your season: the 5K is fast and open to everyone from beginners to experienced racers, the 10K is the demanding middle option, and the scenic half marathon is the endurance test. A 16-week block is overkill for 13.1 miles — twelve weeks of consistent running with one long run a week will do — while the 10K rewards two quality sessions a week more than extra volume. Expect a supportive local running community rather than a hunt for fast times.
