Newgate Mission Gobble Wobble

Newgate Mission Gobble Wobble takes place in Longview, Texas, on November 21, 2026. Three formats are on offer, all starting at 8:00 a.m.: a 10K (6.2 miles), a 5K (3.1 miles), and a 1-mile fun run. Organized under the Newgate Mission name, this Thanksgiving-week event gives runners, walkers, and families a choice of distances on the same Saturday morning.

The 10K is the format for a runner who wants more than a turkey trot sprint: six to eight weeks of consistent running with a weekly long run of 5 to 7 miles and one moderate-effort session will get you to the start line ready. The 5K suits both first-timers and anyone chasing a fast time, and the 1-mile fun run is ideal for kids and for family members who want to take part without committing to a longer effort. With everything starting at 8:00 a.m., plan a light breakfast and a few minutes of easy jogging beforehand.
