About the 10th Annual Hopedale Fire & Police 5K Gobble Wobble
The course starts and finishes at the fire station, with a stretch through the parklands around Hopedale Pond in between. It mixes road and trail, so expect pavement to give way to softer ground mid-race. The race supports both departments directly and funds community needs like college scholarships. It runs on Thanksgiving morning, rain or shine.
Packet pickup is held the evening before at the fire station on Dutcher Street, which keeps race-morning lines short. The start area is the same building, so it is easy to orient yourself when you arrive.
