Kick off your Thanksgiving celebrations with a stride at the Gobble Wobble 5K, set for Thursday, November 26, 2026, in scenic Woodbridge, Virginia! This beloved annual tradition offers a fantastic way for families and friends to embrace the holiday spirit, welcoming runners, joggers, and walkers of all paces. The 5K course navigates the charming Westridge Community, featuring a "hilly" out-and-back route with engaging dips and climbs, ensuring a dynamic experience for participants. For the youngest members of your flock, the Mini Wobble provides flat, kid-friendly options, including a 50-yard Diaper Dash for those aged three and under and a 100-yard Tot Trot for four to five-year-olds.

The race day atmosphere is vibrant and inclusive, starting and finishing in the same spot within the Westridge Community, typically around Westridge Elementary. Parking is conveniently available throughout the neighborhood and surrounding streets, with the main entrance situated in the Westridge Elementary Bus Loop Area. Participants can look forward to earning a finisher's medal and a comfortable event shirt, making it a "picture perfect" start to Thanksgiving Day. Typical race day conditions in late November in Woodbridge bring crisp air, with highs around 52F and lows around 33F, and only a 12% chance of precipitation, ensuring a brisk and invigorating run rain or shine.

Beyond the personal achievement, the Gobble Wobble 5K holds a special place in the community by benefiting Toys for Tots, adding a charitable layer to your holiday fun. Whether you're chasing a personal best on the hilly 5K or enjoying a leisurely stroll with your leashed furry friend or stroller, this event promises a memorable start to a day of gratitude and togetherness.
