Wobble Before You Gobble: 5K and Kids' Dash
About this race
Event Details
This November, wobble with Run Club of Malden before you gobble with family and friends! Join us for our annual Thanksgiving event and help raise money for some great local organizations: Bread of Life, a local nonprofit that provides free food to economically struggling and disadvantaged families, individuals, youth and senior citizens in Boston's metro-north region; and Mystic Valley YMCA, a community focused nonprofit that focuses on health, food security, wellness, and recreation for all ages.
Wobble Before You Gobble 2026 includes a 5K race and a kids' dash (best for ages 10 and under). Bring the family and strengthen our community by contributing to a great cause! 5K participants who register before November 1 will be guaranteed their choice size for a T-shirt.
The kids' dash will be at 9:30 a.m., followed by the 5K at 10 a.m.
