About the Gobble Gallop

The course winds through a residential neighborhood and connects to trails on the YMCA property. The route is flat throughout, with turns through quiet streets before looping back to the finish. Course marshals and local police are posted along the way, so you are never guessing where to go.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at the YMCA gym, with a separate entrance on the west side of the building near the pavilion. Follow the signs rather than the front door. Post-race awards are handled at a booth near the finish area, so stick around if you placed in your category.

Common Questions About the Gobble Gallop

Will I finish last at the Gobble Gallop?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 39:46, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:13:49, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Gobble Gallop a good first 3.1 Miles?

With 1,437 finishers there are runners at every pace, so you are never out on your own. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Gobble Gallop?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 15:58 while the median finisher took 39:46. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
