The Gobble Wobble goes out of Plains High School on Thanksgiving morning, giving runners and walkers a reason to move before the holiday meal. A shorter kids' distance runs alongside the main course, so families with young children can all race the same morning.
Packet pickup opens before the start, with race-morning registration available as well. Signing up early is the better call if you want to be sure you have everything sorted before the gun goes off.

The Gobble Wobble 2026 has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 18, 2026.
Set a goal and get a pace band: every mile split on a card sized for your phone lock screen, so race morning needs no math.

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 41:08, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:04:51, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (40 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. 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.
The 3.1 Miles winner ran 22:41 while the median finisher took 41:08. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
