The Friends of Southborough Recreation asked me to pass along their thanks to all the participants, volunteers, and sponsors who helped make this year’s Gobble Wobble road race a success.
“We were lucky to have tremendous community support this year,” Melissa Shields, President of the Friends of Southborough Recreation, said.
In all, more than 1,000 participants walked, ran, and in some cases, wobbled to the finish line on Thanksgiving morning. About 75 volunteers helped keep things running leading up to the event, as well as on race day.

A favorite part of the Gobble Wobble is the Kids Fun Run. Melissa Shields sent along these photos of the kids racing around the track at Trottier. To see more photos of the Gobble Wobble, check out this post. Click an image in the gallery below to enlarge.
