Gobble Gobble Wobble Thanksgiving 5k sends runners out from the Main Courtyard at Stratton Mountain Resort at 9:00 AM on Thanksgiving morning. The route covers 5 km around the Stratton resort area in southern Vermont, run rain or shine, with a field made up of families, holiday costumes and runners getting a lap in before the turkey goes in the oven. Festive prizes are handed out at the finish line and there is a separate award for the best costume. The first 150 participants to register receive a commemorative T-shirt, and there is no registration on race day, so everyone needs to sign up in advance.
