Wobble Before You Gobble: 5K and Kids' Dash

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 2024 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. 

How Your Participation Helps

All donations will support our two named charities, Bread of Life and Mystic Valley YMCA. A portion of all race proceeds will also go to these two great organizations that support our local community. Our goal is to donate $2,000. If you'd like to contribute, please visit the Donate page or enter a dollar amount during the registration process.

A collection bin will also be on site for donating food (unopened and unexpired) and other items, such as pasta sauce, cereal, canned vegetables, toothpaste and socks. Visit Bread of Life's website for a full list of suggestions.

About Run Club of Malden

Run Club of Malden’s mission is to combine camaraderie, running and community service in a fun and welcoming environment. We believe diversity makes the world and the sport of running more interesting; that if you run, you are a runner; that runners at different experience and pace levels learn from one another; that we have a responsibility to give back to the communities whose paths we frequent; and that there is nothing more fun than logging miles with friends. We're committed to making the sport of running inclusive, welcoming and accessible to all.
