About the 2026 Gobble Wobble 5K
The Gobble Wobble runs on Thanksgiving morning through Cumberland Park. The course is open to strollers and dogs, though both are asked to line up toward the back. The race benefits Food Finders Food Bank, and donation drop-offs are welcome at the start area for anyone who could not make it to packet pickup the evening before.
Packet pickup is the evening before the race at Fleet Feet in West Lafayette, and food bank donations can be dropped off there at the same time. The start is at Cumberland Park, and the post-race morning has a community feel, with families and dogs scattered through the crowd.
