Gobbler 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Slidell, LA

Gobbler 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Slidell, LA brings three distances to Slidell, Louisiana, on November 21, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K and the 5K all set off at 8:00 a.m., each on a scenic course, and finishers receive a medal. The format is deliberately broad, aimed at competitive runners and at people who run mainly for fitness, so the same morning covers a first 5K and a serious 13.1-mile effort.

If you are weighing the 10K against the half, the honest test is your current long run: anything under six miles points to the 10K. Runners already covering eight miles comfortably can bridge to 13.1 in about ten weeks by adding a mile to the weekend run every second week. Since all three races share a start, plan to seed yourself by pace, and carry your own fuel if you are used to taking something on runs over ninety minutes.
