Wiregrass Wobble FAQ's
Is this a "live" timed race/event?
This will be a "virtual" event. You can run or walk anywhere and at any pace. You can challenge your friends in Bali and your family in Kalamazoo to join you at their convenience or during the same time frame. Everyone registered can post pictures and their completion times. It's easy. Inside your RunSignUp account profile you can access the Wiregrass Wobble Turkey Trot online and select results, submit your distance completed, your time, and even a selfie!
Why is the Wiregrass Wobble virtual this year?
The Wiregrass Wobble benefactors have chosen to go virtual this year to protect the health and safety of everyone involved. Your registration and sponsorships will fund area school programs and nonprofit organizations that truly need extra community support this year. This is our 8th Wobble and we hope you'll continue our mutual Turkey Day tradition. Register now and share photos of your run/walk on social media and on our RunSignUp Wiregrass Wobble Turkey Trot site. Going virtual this year was a tough decision, and we look forward to seeing everyone again in person in 2021!
Do I have to do my run/walk in Tampa?
