Here’s a reminder of what you need to know for tomorrow’s Gobble Wobble. For the 10th year, locals will earn their Thanksgiving dinners while supporting the Friends of Southborough Recreation. (And this year, proceeds will support Special Olympic programs.)

The 5K runners can compete for cash prizes: 1st-$300, 2nd-$200, 3rd-$100. There is also a 2 mile walk and a free fun run for kids.

To help parents enjoy the run, race organizers are again providing babysitting for only $5 per family. Walk-ins welcome. (Although, every year some runners tote kids along in jogging strollers or backpacks!)

Dogs & strollers must start at the back of the line.

If you haven’t signed up yet, it’s not too late. You can register in person today or that morning. (The race is capped at 1,200 – so get there early).*
