Branson's Great Bacon Race 5K and Half Marathon
Branson's Great Bacon Race is scheduled for May 30, 2026 at the Table Rock Lake Dewey Short Visitor Center in Branson, Missouri. The event is organized as a charitable race to support missions. It offers both in person and virtual participation options.
The in person course follows the trails by Table Rock Lake, beginning at the Dewey Short Visitor Center. The 5K is a one point turnaround. Aid stations and the finish area are described as stocked with bacon. All finishers receive a bacon themed finisher medal and a bacon t shirt.
The virtual option allows participants to complete the race distance anywhere during the designated race period, including indoors on a treadmill. Virtual participants may run or walk portions of the distance over multiple sessions if needed. Organizers will ship medals to registrants following the event; medals are scheduled to be shipped within two weeks after the race date. Tracking by running GPS watch or smartphone apps is noted as the most accurate method for recording distance and time.
The event is listed with entry categories for in person and virtual 5K and half marathon distances, including a child 5K category. No refunds are provided in the case of weather cancellation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
