Gobble Wobble 5K for Food Finders

Join us for the Gobble Wobble 5K on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20! We're shaking things up this year and hosting our Thanksgiving race a week early. It will be an IN-PERSON 5K race with the option to run with a chip-timed bib or an untimed bib. You can make your selection during the registration process. It will be $25 to register as chip-timed and free if you choose untimed. ONLY CHIP-TIMED PARTICIPANTS WILL RECEIVE A T-SHIRT.

One thing that remains the same: ALL donations go directly to our local Food Finders Food Bank. We ask that you donate food or make a monetary donation to Food Finders if you are able. 

The event is limited to 500 participants. T-shirts are given to chip-timed participants ONLY. Register by November 4 to guarantee your shirt size. If you register for a chip-timed bib after this date, you will not be able to select your preferred shirt size, however you will still receive a shirt.
