Ghost-to-Gobble 5k & 1-Mile
About this race
After two incredible years, Ghost-to-Gobble is back for 2026 and bigger than ever! Co-hosted by UCA Physical Therapy and Exercise & Sport Science, this unique fall favorite brings together the community for a fun, festive event on UCA’s beautiful campus. Whether you are racing for a personal best, jogging with friends, walking with family, pushing a stroller, or simply coming out to enjoy the atmosphere, all are welcome at Ghost-to-Gobble.
Ghost-to-Gobble operates as a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit event. For the 2026 race, 10% of profits will benefit UCA Living Unleashed, a nonprofit organization that raises and trains highly skilled companion dogs through Canine Companions for Independence for individuals with disabilities. These dogs serve in life-changing roles as service, assistance, hearing, and facility dogs. Remaining proceeds directly support the UCA Physical Therapy and Exercise & Sport Science programs through student scholarships, research initiatives, national conference attendance, and free or low-cost therapy services for the community.
