About the Gobble Gobble 5K & 10K
The course starts and finishes on the Pierce College campus, so the start line and the post-race area are the same spot. It runs on Thanksgiving morning, which gives it the feel of a neighborhood gathering as much as a race. The college setting keeps things contained and easy to navigate.
Packet pickup happens the weekend before at South Hill Mall, inside near a sporting goods store. Race-morning pickup is available but carries an extra fee. No dogs are allowed on the course or campus, so leave them home. There is a food drive at the event, and donations of shelf-stable pantry items are welcome.
