Thanksgiving Tradition Resumes with Gobble Gobble Event

The 15th annual Gobble Gobble Four Miler benefiting St. Matthew’s House and the 95210 Kids on the Go program will take place Thanksgiving morning, November 26, at The Village on Venetian Bay, in Naples. The cup-free green event will feature four races: a one-mile walk/run at 7:25 a.m., a competitive chip-timed event at 7:30 a.m., a four-mile fun run/walk at 7:35 a.m. and a Lil’ Gobbler’s Dash for children up to 6 years old at 8:50 a.m.

The event includes a costume contest with prizes and Whole Foods Market will provide all-natural pumpkin pies and fruit following the race.
