Gobble Wobble - Camp Shelby, MS

Gobble Wobble - Camp Shelby, MS takes place at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, on November 20, 2026, with a single 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 7:30 AM. It's a Thanksgiving-season run with one distance, held on a Friday morning ahead of the holiday week.

A turkey-themed 5K is a fixture of the season, and this one keeps things simple: one course, one start, and a distance short enough for anyone to take on. If you're new to running, three to four weeks of running or run-walking three times a week is enough to finish comfortably. If you're a regular runner, a Friday morning 5K is a good chance for a hard, controlled effort before a holiday of big meals: warm up with ten minutes of jogging and a few strides, run even splits through two miles, and push the last one. Arrive early enough to reach the start area and pick up your bib before 7:30 AM.
