Thanksgiving is sneaking up on us. That means the 18th annual Gobble Wobble walk and run will take place two weeks from today.
For those not familiar, the Gobble Wobble combines a 5K timed race with a 2 mile family-friendly walk.
The annual event is offered to support “community health, togetherness, and spirit”. But is also the Friends of Rec’s big annual fundraiser. Proceeds help support community recreation (facilities, programs, etc.)
Again, this year, No dogs will be allowed on the course.
The Friends asked me to share a thanks to the sponsors that make this annual event possible. (See flyer right.)
The walk and run start at 8:30 am on Thanksgiving (November 28th). Check in at registration begins at 7:00 am, with an early check in also available the day prior — 12:30 – 5:30 pm on Wednesday, November 27th.
Early Bird registration costs are $35 per adult and $25 per child (ages 1-18). (Day of, in person registration is more.) A discount is available for households registering 5+ participants.
As always, medals will be awarded for overall Male and Female runners, plus by age group.
The event begins and ends outside of Trottier Middle School at 49 Parkerville Road. For more details or to register, click here.
As always, running the event requires volunteer support. Fortunately, a good number of community members have already pledged their help. If you’d like to join them, there are still a few slots left. You can learn more and sign up here.
