Thanksgiving Gobble Jog for Charity
Gobble Jog is one of the best ways to help yourself and others on Thanksgiving Day.
You can help the homeless, work up your appetite and burn off zillions of calories all at once. Gobble Jog is scheduled for 8 AM until noon on November 28, 2013 on the Marietta Square.
Way back in 2003, a small group of volunteers planned the first Gobble Jog. They had no idea how quickly the event would grow into one of the best attended and most beloved holiday festivities in the South.
The 1,400 original runners helped raise $29,000 that year and the Gobble Jog was literally “off and running.” Today, over 10,000 runners and walkers pour into the historic Marietta Square on Thanksgiving morning to kick off their family day with the fun and excitement of a great event for a great cause.
The proceeds now exceed $400,000 and continue to benefit MUST Ministries, one of Georgia’s recognized servant leaders.
We’re very thankful for all those who have organized this event and for all who take part.
