Gobble Wobble 2020

The Gobble Wobble 5K has been postponed until spring. 

Due to Governor Scott's announcement of new restrictions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, we are postponing the Gobble Wobble Turkey Trot. We will wait for further guidance from the state before we decide on a new date, but we are planning on spring. Shirts have been ordered and are currently being processed. If you would prefer a refund, please let us know, otherwise, we will email when the shirts are in and ready to mail out.

Thank you for your understanding. We are disappointed, but safety is our top priority.
