3rd Annual Ghost-to-Gobble 5k & 1-Mile 2026

The Ghost-to-Gobble 5k & 1-Mile is a fall race held on the UCA campus, featuring a certified 5K and a family-friendly 1-mile fun run. Now in its third edition, this event bridges the gap between Halloween and turkey-trot season. The 5K is a timed race offering awards for the top three overall male and female finishers. The 1-mile option provides a shorter route for children, families, and less experienced runners. The 5K course winds past UCA landmarks such as Estes Stadium, Reynolds Performance Hall, Harding Fountain, Old Main, and Stone Dam Creek. Wheelchairs and assistive devices are permitted; however, bikes and pets are not. An aid station will be present, supported by Conway Fire Department and UCA athletic training staff. Costumes are encouraged, with awards for individual and group participants. Ten percent of the proceeds will benefit Special Olympics Arkansas.
