Gobble Gobble Gobble 2026 is Coming! Volunteer Needed

Thanksgiving Day is just around the corner, and the 2026 Gobble Gobble Gobble Run is happening on Thursday, November 26! 🎉

Want to be part of the fun and help make this year’s race a success? Volunteer sign-ups are officially OPEN! 🙌

📸 We’ve attached a few photos from last year to bring back some great memories and get everyone excited for another fantastic Thanksgiving! Photo Credits - Paul Nelson!!!!

🫶🏻 Calling All Volunteers — Especially Course Marshals!

We need volunteers for a variety of roles, and course marshals are especially important to keeping our runners and walkers safe.

🚦 What does a course marshal do?

Course marshals help keep the race safe by monitoring intersections along the course. While police officers manage busy intersections, course marshals help control traffic on other streets, stopping vehicles and bikes from entering or crossing the course when participants are approaching. They also help keep traffic moving safely when there are gaps between runners and walkers.

It's a great way to support the community, cheer on participants, and be part of the race-day excitement!

🫶🏻 Volunteer Perks & Prizes!
A Gobble Gobble Gobble volunteer T-shirt
Priority entry to The Burren afterparty
Entry into a raffle for gift card prizes, with over $1,000 in gift cards up for grabs!

🎁 A FREE race registration coupon code for volunteers who sign up for TWO or more roles OR one course marshal role. You'll be able to claim your code after signing up!

Extra prize opportunities for course marshals through a separate raffle!

Please note: Volunteers who sign up for multiple roles receive the same number of raffle entries.

Ready to Join the Team?
