Thursday is Southborough’s popular Gobble Wobble. For the 9th year, locals will earn their Thanksgiving dinners while supporting the Friends of Southborough Recreation.

In past years, over 1,000 locals have flocked to run the 5K. Others strutted their stuff through the 2 mile walk. And many kids whooped their way through the free Fun Run.

To help parents enjoy the run, race organizers are again providing babysitting for only $5 per family. Walk-ins welcome. (Although, every year some runners tote kids along in jogging strollers or backpacks!)

If you haven’t signed up yet, it’s not too late. It’s just to late to do it online. (That closed at noon today).

You can register in person on Wednesday or that morning (capped at 1,200 – so get there early).*

Here’s the pre-reg and event day schedule:
