We will also be collecting donations for the Stahl Jr. High food pantry. Suggested donation items include single-serving microwavable mac & cheese cups, single-serving breakfast cereal, granola bars, protein bars, microwavable soups, and Pop-Tarts. Help us support local students and families this Thanksgiving season.

Whether you’re looking to burn a few calories before the big feast, create lasting memories with family and friends, or continue your holiday running tradition, the Gobble Gobble 5K & 10K is the perfect way to start your Thanksgiving Day.  The Gobble Gobble 5K & 10K is proudly becoming a Puyallup Thanksgiving tradition!

Long sleeve lifestyle tee shirts are available for purchase: $22 for S - XL, $27 for 2XL & 3XL.  Thanksgiving is the busiest running day in America, so our swag cutoff date is earlier than most events. Shirts available for purchase and medals are guaranteed until October 5th.

Packet Pick - Up will be held on Sunday November 22nd South Hill Mall (Inside in front of Dick's) from 11 AM - 6 PM. 

If you wish to pick up your event swag on Thanksgiving morning there will be a $20 service fee.

Absolutely NO dogs, scooters or bicycles.  Our insurance does not cover dogs, and Pierce College does not allow dogs on campus for this event.  In addition, we want to protect our furry friends and your fellow runners/walkers.  Thank you for your cooperation!

Join fellow runners on November 26, 2026 for the Gobble Gobble 5K & 10K. It's a fantastic 5K, 10K featuring a flat and fast course in Puyallup.
