NYCRUNS Great Gobble 5K
The NYCRUNS Great Gobble 5K takes place on November 21, 2026 in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. The event features a 5K course that is just under one full loop of the park and is USATF-certified, with a final sprint up Center Drive to the finish.
The Festival Area is located in the Nethermead and is accessible via Center Drive or the walking paths off Well House Drive. Bib pickup, shirt distribution, bag check, and portable bathrooms are located in the Festival Area. Bike parking in the Festival Area is prohibited.
Start corrals use a pace-based system (AA-F); corral assignments appear on the bib and are based on the pace listed in a runner’s NYCRUNS profile. The Start Corrals are on Well House Drive, about a five-minute walk from the Festival Area.
Event amenities include bag check (single clear bag required; provided if needed, 18 x 24), course hydration with water, Gatorade and water at the finish, and post-race snacks consisting of pretzels, an apple, and a bagel with schmear. Race giveaways include an official race shirt and a Finisher Medal; shirts are available on race day only. Race photos are provided by MarathonFoto.
Handcycle and Wheelchair divisions are included; athletes in those divisions are entered automatically if their account reflects the designation and should follow the listed arrival guidelines. Results are emailed and posted after the race. Awards are given to the top three male, female, and non-binary overall (gun time) and to top three finishers by age group (net/chip time). Standard no-refunds, no-transfers policy applies. Strollers and dogs are not allowed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
