From the Organizer
Thanksgiving morning is better when you start it together.
- Thanksgiving morning at Oconomowoc High School — start a new family tradition before the turkey takes over.
- Warm indoor space and restrooms — because November in Wisconsin likes to keep things interesting.
- Something for everyone — choose the 5K, 10K, 5K Walk, 5K Ruck, or the Kiddo’s 1K.
- Free hot chocolate bar — earn it first, then build the perfect cup.
- Flat, family-friendly course — great for runners, walkers, first-timers, and competitive relatives.
- Locally owned and produced by Silver Circle Sports Events, LLC — a hometown event built by people who live and work here.
- Custom awards by Oconomowoc-based Ridgeway Woodworks, LLC — something far better than a plastic participation trophy collecting dust next to the treadmill.
Come run, walk, ruck, cheer, sip hot chocolate, and make Thanksgiving morning a little more memorable.
The Oconomowoc Great Gobble Wobble is proud to be part of the Wisconsin Chilly Willy Run Series.
NEW for 2026 - 1K Kiddo's Gobble Bundle!
Bring Your Flock. Get Rewarded.
Thanksgiving morning is better with friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and that one cousin who says they “do not run” but somehow wins the family 5K.
