About the Kids' Food Basket 21st Annual Gobble Wobble 5k Run & Walk
This one runs on Thanksgiving morning, starting at a middle school in Grand Rapids. The course goes out and doubles back, so it is straightforward to follow and easy for the whole group to stay together. Dogs on leashes are welcome, and there is a short separate route for younger kids alongside the main event. It is untimed, which sets the tone.
Packet pickup timing is still to be announced, so keep an eye on Kids' Food Basket for updates. Race-day registration is open, though signing up online ahead of time is encouraged. The start area is at the middle school, with the kids' course kicking off first and the main run following right behind it.
