Blazin' Glazin' Donut Race

Blazin' Glazin' Donut Race is held in Evansville, Indiana, on December 13, 2026. The event lists one format, a 5K run/walk, and it starts at 1:00 p.m. An afternoon gun is unusual for a road race and it has a practical upside: no dawn alarm, and a full morning to eat, travel and get your legs moving.

Since walkers are welcome alongside runners, this works as a low-pressure way to close out the racing year. If you want to run it hard, keep your last meal light and well before the start, given the early-afternoon timing, and warm up for fifteen minutes beforehand. If you would rather take it easy, alternating running and walking over the 3.1 miles is perfectly reasonable and still gets you the same finish line.
