About the Marseilles Gobble Wobble

The Marseilles Gobble Wobble runs on Thanksgiving morning, so the field tends to be neighbors wanting to earn their dinner alongside folks who just want to get outside before the day gets busy. Proceeds go toward the local soccer field and a community summer event. Awards go deep into the age groups, with a separate prize for the top local finisher.

Common Questions About the Marseilles Gobble Wobble

Will I finish last at the Marseilles Gobble Wobble?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.2 Miles field finished slower than 35:59, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:01:28, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Marseilles Gobble Wobble a good first 3.2 Miles?

It is a small race (91 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 3.2 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Marseilles Gobble Wobble?

The 3.2 Miles winner ran 19:36 while the median finisher took 35:59. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
