Thanksgiving Morning | November 26, 2026

Gobble Gait started in 1998 as a small race to raise some additional money for Hastings Family Service. Years later, Gobble Gait is still raising money to benefit HFS, but it is no longer a small race!  The 2K and 8K combined are now averaging well over 2,000 runners each year, and have consistently been one of the Twin Cities' largest Thanksgiving Day runs!  Many families have made it their traditional way to kick off the holiday season. 

Save $20 on the 8K - Register by Oct. 31!
