Gobbler 5k Fun Run/Walk

Gobbler 5k Fun Run/Walk takes place in Houtzdale, Pennsylvania, on November 14, 2026. The single format is the Gobbler Run 5K Fun Run/Walk (3.1 miles), starting at 10:00 AM and open to both runners and walkers. The event is put on by the Houtzdale Revitalization Association, which gives the race a strong local-community flavor.

A fun run/walk 5K is the definition of a low-pressure race: you can run it hard, jog it with a friend or walk the whole thing, and the mid-morning start means no pre-dawn alarm. It works well as a first 5K, as a family outing before the holidays or as an easy effort for runners in the middle of a training block. If you plan to run all 3.1 miles and have not done so before, six weeks of three short sessions a week, gradually replacing walking breaks with running, will get you there. Dress in layers for a November morning.
