About the 2026 Loris "Chicken Run" Bog Off

This is a street race through downtown Loris, run as part of the Bog Off Festival put on by the local Chamber of Commerce. The start and finish are at the same corner, so the crowd around you at the beginning is the same crowd you run back to at the end. Expect a town-festival atmosphere, with the race woven into a larger event happening around it.

Packet pickup runs the morning before the race at a government center in Conway, with a second option on race morning near the start. Parking is on the surrounding streets and in a nearby field, and a parking pass is included in your race packet.

Common Questions About the 2026 Loris "Chicken Run" Bog Off

Will I finish last at the 2026 Loris "Chicken Run" Bog Off?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 46:49, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:24:29, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 2026 Loris "Chicken Run" Bog Off a good first 5K?

It is a small race (177 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 2026 Loris "Chicken Run" Bog Off?

The 5K winner ran 22:21 while the median finisher took 46:49. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
