THE GOBBLE WOBBLE 5K 2026

The Gobble Wobble 5K is a Thanksgiving morning race hosted by the Greater Philadelphia YMCA, starting at 8:30 AM at four area locations. Participants can select a chip-timed 5K run, or join the Wobble Walk, making the event suitable for families, casual participants, and those seeking a timed race before the holiday meal. The race takes place in Haverford, the Navy Yard Marine Parade Grounds in Philadelphia, Spring Valley, and Willow Grove, with a virtual option for those traveling or preferring not to start early. Proceeds benefit the Y's financial assistance program. The event embraces the holiday theme with long-sleeve race shirts and youth shirts, establishing itself as a Greater Philadelphia family tradition rather than a single-location club race.
