The Experience

The Gobbler Half Marathon, 5K, and 10K take place in Fort Smith, Arkansas, offering a straightforward racing experience. The course is designed as an out-and-back, with the half marathon completing six loops of the designated route. This configuration is intended to be fast and flat, with minimal elevation change, making it a potential candidate for personal bests.

The event is organized by US Road Running, which hosts numerous races across the country. Runners can expect a 3-hour and 30-minute time limit to complete their chosen distance. The race emphasizes community and participation, with awards and series points available for top finishers. The event also encourages festive attire with a 'Best Costume' award.

Race-provided description

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help.
