The Gobble Jog is MUST Ministries’ #1 fundraising event of the year and one of the biggest Thanksgiving 10K races in the country. Even though the Gobble Jog won’t be held at the Marietta Square this year, runners and walkers can still participate in the race virtually to help meet the greatest food need MUST Ministries has experienced in its 49-year history.
Runners and walkers can run a 10K, 5K, 1K, Tot Trot (50 yards) or phantom runner anytime between November 1 - 26. The race cost is $35 and includes a color-wash, long-sleeved t-shirt that will be mailed after Thanksgiving. All Gobble Jog proceeds will go to provide food for the local community. To sign up for the virtual race, please visit GobbleJog.org.
