Gobble Waddle 5K/10K

Join Us for the 18th Annual Gobble Waddle 5K/10K Run/Walk, presented by HealthQuest Fitness and Wellness Center!

Get ready to lace up for a festive, family-friendly celebration of fitness and giving! The Gobble Waddle features a timed run and a fun walk designed for all ages and activity levels. Whether you're racing for a personal best or strolling with loved ones, strollers and leashed dogs are absolutely welcome!

Dog Guidelines: All canine participants must be friendly and kept on a fixed leash at all times. Please help keep the course clean by picking up after your pets.

Give Back This Thanksgiving: In the spirit of the season, we encourage all participants to bring at least five canned food items to donate. Contributions can be dropped off at the event or at HealthQuest in advance. Donations will support local food bank agencies and the SECU Hospice House, helping neighbors in need right here in our community.
