About the race
The NM Hobbler Gobbler Thanksgiving Day Run is a community running and walking event on November 26, 2026, at Loma Colorado Park / Rio Rancho Aquatic Center in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. The event program includes the following in-person distances:
- 10K

Virtual options are also offered for the 10K, 5K (run or walk), and Kids K. Packet pickup is held the day before at the New Balance Store in Albuquerque; race-day packet pickup and registration are available at the Loma Colorado Park registration area for those unable to pick up beforehand.
The 10K and 5K are officially timed using a disposable B-Tag timing chip attached to the bib; bibs must be worn visibly on the front. Overall and age-group awards are presented for the 10K and 5K, with age divisions extending from youth through 80+. Results are posted live at the finish and published after the race.
Course support includes two water stations for the 10K (mile 2 and mile 4), one water station for the 5K (mile 2), portable toilets near the start/finish and on course, and on-site medical personnel. Strollers are permitted on the 5K only and must start at the back; dogs and certain other devices are not allowed. Entries are non-refundable; transfers to another person are permitted for a fee at packet pickup before race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
