Gobble Gait in Hastings, Minnesota

Gobble Gait is a Thanksgiving morning running event held in Hastings, Minnesota. It began in 1998 as a small race to raise funds for Hastings Family Service and has grown into a large annual event that benefits that organization. All proceeds raised by Gobble Gait, LLC are delivered to Hastings Family Service to support its programs and services.

The event includes multiple race distances and informational resources for participants, such as registration, an event map, a course map, packet and T shirt pick up, and a frequently asked questions page. Organizing and presenting partners include Edward Jones - Abra Hovgaard and North American Banking Company, and the race operates as a community volunteer effort through Gobble Gait, LLC, a Minnesota nonprofit LLC formed in 2011 as a subsidiary of Hastings Family Service.

The combined 2K and 8K fields average well over 2,000 runners each year, and the event has consistently been one of the Twin Cities' largest Thanksgiving Day runs. The race listing and event pages also reference sponsors, a sponsor page, and donation options directed to Hastings Family Service.
