Event Information

Welcome to the 3rd annual Springville Hobble before you Gobble Thanksgiving morning 10, 5K and Children's Fun Run, sponsored by Hobble Creek Dental (who I trust personally with my family's dental care.)

Run through Springville's beautiful farmland with friends and family to begin the day with community and wellness! Professionally timed and affordable family pricing. Each participant will receive a race beanie until they are sold out. We will update here if they are no longer available. All profits will go to Utah Valley Refugees ahead of the holiday season. We are so honored to be mentored by Karlberg Racing. Karlberg racing hosts many amazing events in Utah County, including Payson Orchards Triathlon, Splash Summit Triathlon and the Goldilocks bike race.

Location:
The race will begin at Ray Arthur Wing Park (950 W 125 N Springville, UT 84663), just south of last year's location. Runners will head north to 900 N where they will turn west and follow the road until a sign directs them to turn left at 1050 W, just before the train tracks. From there runners will continue south to 300 N where they will take a left where volunteers will be ready to hand out water. You will take your next immediate left and then two immediate rights (this is to get that full 3.10 distance!). Continue south before you turn left again on Center Street and run until a sign directs you to turn left back on 950 W. The 5K will finish back at Ray Arthur Wing Park. The 10k will go on for a second lap of the same course.

Prizes:
Between the 10K/5K and the Fun Run we will be holding a raffle based on your bib number to give away Thanksgiving pies. All those registered by November 26th are eligible for the raffle. This year we will hold a virtual raffle. When your race is over come to the pie table to see if your name is on a pie to take home!

Inclement Weather:
We will race in almost any weather! If the city deems the weather unsafe you can still pick up your beanie and swag bag with our deepest regrets. Refunds will not be issued based on weather or cancellation due solely to the fact that all expenses will have already been paid for.

Packet Pick Up:

1. Early packet pick up (recommended) will be Wednesday, November 27th, 9:00 am - 1:00 pm at Hobble Creek Dental Care (143 E 200 S, Springville, UT 84663). You may pick up packets for friends and family with their permission.

2. General packet pick up will be at the event beginning at 6:45am.

Parking:
Parking is limited so we highly encourage carpooling with friends and family. There is a very small parking lot at Ray Arthur Wing Park but two neighboring churches with plenty of parking. Please avoid parking along the race course.

Raffle:
Winners will be randomly drawn based on bib numbers before the event. After your race, come to the pie table to see if your name is on a pie or ham to take home for your Thanksgiving meal.

Race Winners:
1. Medals will be awarded to the top three overall men and female racers. Medals will also be awarded to the top three in each age division.

2 The top three (under age 13) fun run winners will also receive a medal. This race will not be chipped time so it will be determined by the first three participants to cross the finish line.

1. There will be an awards ceremony for 5k and 10k winners at promptly 9am.

Weather:
Dress warmly. We will have hot chocolate and a few heat stands to keep you warm.
