Join us on Thanksgiving Day for the Gobble Wobble 5K presented by Purdue Federal Credit Union! This is a 5K race that you can run or walk, taking place in West Lafayette at Cumberland Park. The event supports the local Food Finders Food Bank through donations and is a great way to kick off your Thanksgiving week festivities! We encourage both runners and walkers to register for the event. Bring your friends, family, and furry sidekicks...it's fun for all! Strollers and wagons are allowed, however, we ask you start in the back when lining up at the start line. This goes for anyone running or walking with a dog as well.
