According to a PhillyVoice report, the Gobble Wobble began in Abington more than two decades ago. It has grown into a four-community event that attracted nearly 6,000 participants in 2025, making it one of the region’s largest Thanksgiving Day races.
The event is family-friendly, welcoming first-time walkers and experienced runners alike to start the holiday with exercise.
Summer Sale registration runs through Sept. 7. Pricing is $30 for adults ages 13 and older, $27 per person for groups of four or more participants, $20 for children ages 12 and younger, and $17 per child for children ages 12 and younger in a group of four or more participants.
Registration includes chip timing, race bibs, and refreshments. Registrants who sign up by Aug. 12 will receive a free Gobble Wobble pair of socks as an early signup incentive.
