Mardi Gras 5K Prediction Run - Mobile, AL
The Mardi Gras 5K Prediction Run takes place in downtown Mobile on February 7, 2027, with the primary course listed at 199 S Broad Street. The event includes a prediction-style 5K where the award for that category goes to the participant who most closely predicts their own finish time; computer-recorded time is the official time and the use of watches or timing devices disqualifies a participant from the prediction award.
Distances and categories:
- 5K
- 5K under 16 years
- 0 Miles activity with Mardi Gras elements, includes shirt, beaded lanyard, and medal
Packet pickup is scheduled at Fleet Feet Mobile (3972 Airport Blvd) from February 1 through February 6 and there is race-site pickup on race day. Registration fees vary by category. A volunteer-for-entry option is available where the registration fee is refunded after the event for those who provide event-day volunteer service.
The event publishes a refund schedule: 75% refund up to 60 days before the race, 50% up to 30 days before the race, and no refunds within 30 days. Processing fees are non-refundable and bib transfers are allowed up to 10 days before the race.
