From the Organizer
🦃 Little Neck Turkey Trot & Gobble Wobble
Join LNRC at 8:30 AM on Thanksgiving morning for a free community fun run in Little Neck! The Turkey Trot and Gobble Wobble are free, family-friendly events open to runners and walkers of all ages. There will be a 5k and 1 mile route that stays on the Little Neck Road path, but roads will not be closed.
This isn't a race - it's a chance to celebrate fitness, friendship, and gratitude before the big feast. We’ll start and finish at the Little Neck Swim and Racquet Club, following our usual run club-style format with plenty of good vibes and holiday cheer.
🚧 Safety Reminder
Please remember that roads will not be closed for this event. Both the 5K and 1-mile routes stay on the Little Neck Road path, but please be alert to traffic, especially when crossing streets. This is a fun run, not a race — all about fitness, friendship, and gratitude before the big feast!
🧥 Donation Update
This year, we’re collecting new or gently used sweatshirts and sweatpants for the Virginia Beach Housing Resource Center, supporting individuals experiencing homelessness. Thank you for helping us spread warmth this holiday season!

We’re excited to share that Dunkin’ Donuts will be providing coffee and donuts for participants to enjoy. Feel free to bring something to share tailgate-style — breakfast bites, fruit, or other treats are always a hit!
