About the Gobbler Grind Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K & 5K
The Gobbler Grind is a road race through Overland Park that qualifies for Boston, so the field tends to include people running with a specific goal alongside those out for the pre-Thanksgiving tradition. Cool air and bare trees are about as reliable as anything on race morning, and the course draws runners from both sides of the state line.
