About the Wobble Before You Gobble: 5K and Kids' Dash
This is a Thanksgiving morning race put on by a local running club, with proceeds going to two Malden-area nonprofits: one that runs a food pantry and one that covers health and wellness programs. The kids' dash goes first, then the main race follows, so families can watch the little ones finish before the adults line up.
Registration has a donation component built in, and you can add more during the process if you want to give beyond the base amount. The organizers also take volunteers if you want to be part of the morning without running.
