Lobsterfest 5K

Lobsterfest 5K is run in Huntsville, Alabama, on November 7, 2026. The event lists one distance, a 5K (3.1 miles), with the gun going off at 8 a.m.

Expect a road race, which keeps the effort simple to pace: the surface is even, so you can settle into a rhythm from the first quarter mile and hold it. Newer runners can treat the morning as a goal to train toward, alternating running and walking in the early weeks and stringing together longer running blocks as November gets closer. More experienced runners will find a fall 5K useful for setting a marker before winter base training, and the distance recovers quickly, so it rarely disrupts whatever larger plan you are already following.
