About
NYCRUNS Great Gobble 5K is a road race in New York, New York, on November 21, 2026, starting at 7:00 AM. The program is a single 5K (3.1 miles), which makes it a short, straightforward morning out on city pavement and a natural warm-up for the Thanksgiving week that follows. The early start gets you back with most of the day still ahead of you.
A flat urban 5K is one of the best places to find out what you are actually worth over a short distance. If you are chasing a personal record, three weeks of short intervals at goal pace and a proper warm-up before the gun matter more than any extra mileage. If you are newer to racing, the same 5K works as a first bib: run the first mile slower than feels right and you will finish strong instead of surviving.
