Gobbler 5K, 10K, 13.1M & 26.2M at Panama City Beach, FL

Gobbler 5K, 10K, 13.1M & 26.2M at Panama City Beach, FL takes place in Panama City Beach, Florida, on November 28, 2026. The marathon (26.2 miles), the half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K and the 5K all start at 8:00 a.m. on scenic courses, and finishers receive a medal. The lineup is deliberately wide, covering competitive runners chasing a time and people running mainly for fitness, all in a single morning.

With four distances behind one start, the interesting question is what to do in the week beforehand. If you are running the marathon, cut your mileage by roughly half and keep only a couple of short efforts at race pace; the 5K needs almost no taper at all. Newer runners will find the 5K and 10K approachable off regular running, while the half marathon rewards a 12-week build with a long run worked up to about 11 miles and easy running around it.
