Come join your friends and neighbors on Thanksgiving morning for the fourth annual Gobble Wobble—an event for all ages and abilities where you can get a little exercise before the big feast and make a big difference in the lives of those less fortunate.
The entry fee—one bag of nonperishable groceries per runner—will be donated to Open Table in Concord and Maynard. They have come to count on Lincoln’s wonderful generosity from this event. Check out the Open Table website for items they need the most.
On Thanksgiving morning, please arrive at Lincoln Mall with your bag of groceries between 7:30 and 8:15 a.m. for an 8:30 start. There will be two routes going along Lincoln sidewalks, crosswalks and back streets. One will be about 2.5 miles and the other will be about 3.5 miles. This is a fun run, not a race, so there will be no bibs, no times, and no first place (or last place!). It’s just an opportunity to get out and join your neighbors for some exercise and goodwill.
Note that roads will not be closed, so don’t leave young children to run or walk on their own. This is not a town-sponsored event, so you will be asked to sign a simple waiver to protect those who are organizing it. Your safety is your personal responsibility. Please walk, run or wobble safely!
We’ll provide coffee, hot chocolate and munchkins, so an approximate head count would be helpful. If you know you’ll be participating, please email jen@flanagans.us. Also feel free to email with any questions. Spread the word—the more wobblers, the more people we can help!
