Gingerbread Lane 5K & 10K - Little Rock

Gingerbread Lane 5K & 10K - Little Rock is held in Little Rock, Arkansas, on December 19, 2026, and packs four events into one morning. A Kids Dash opens the day at 8:55 a.m., then the 1-mile run, the 5K (3.1 miles) and the 10K (6.2 miles) all set off together at 9:00 a.m. Having every adult distance on a common gun means families can enter different events and still finish within the same window.

The 10K is the pick if you want a real test of pacing: it is long enough to punish an aggressive first mile but short enough to race off ordinary winter mileage. The 5K suits anyone building back after a fall break, and the mile is an easy first bib for a child. Six weeks of consistent running with one weekly threshold effort covers either of the longer options.
