Thousands of runners and walkers participate in the Greater Philadelphia YMCA's annual Gobble Wobble 5K on Thanksgiving Day.
Registration is now open for the Greater Philadelphia YMCA's Gobble Wobble 5K, a Thanksgiving Day tradition that brings runners and walkers of all ages together while raising money for YMCA programs across the region. The annual event takes place in Abington, Haverford, the Navy Yard in Philadelphia and Royersford.
The Gobble Wobble began in Abington more than 20 years ago and has since expanded to four communities. Nearly 6,000 people participated in 2025, making it one of the region's largest Thanksgiving Day races. The family-friendly event welcomes everyone from first-time walkers to experienced runners looking to start the holiday with some exercise before gathering around the dinner table.
Summer Sale registration is available through Sept. 7, with fees starting at $30 for adults (ages 13 and older), $27 per person for groups of four or more and $15 for children ages 12 and younger. Registration includes chip timing, race bibs and refreshments. Participants who register by Aug. 12 will also receive a free pair of custom Gobble Wobble socks.
