About the NSB Thanksgiving Gobble Wobble 5k - 2026
The course runs entirely on beach sand, starting and finishing in front of the Flagler Avenue Boardwalk. Sand running is harder than pavement, so expect your legs to work a little differently than usual. The surroundings are open ocean and beach, and the route passes the water stop twice on an out-and-back style layout.
Packet pickup is available the evening before at the Flagler Avenue Beach Approach, with a second window on race morning at the tent. After the race, the celebration moves to Flagler Tavern, where finishers get tavern credit to spend. Awards for top finishers are announced there as well.

The NSB Thanksgiving Gobble Wobble 5k - 2026 has been held every year since at least 2019. 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 Nov 12, 2026.
