Thanksgiving Day 5k - Naples, Florida
The Gobble Gobble Thanksgiving Day 5k is held on Thanksgiving Day in Naples, Florida, with the start and finish at The Village Shops on Venetian Bay, 4200 Gulf Shore Blvd N. The course runs through downtown Naples and along the waterfront near The Village Shops; an interactive map and turn-by-turn course flyover are provided.
The event is presented as a long-standing community tradition and is noted for its fundraising support of St. Matthew's House, with the race having raised tens of thousands of dollars for that organization. Results and course records are maintained for the 5K distance, and awards are organized by age groups and overall categories.
Entry includes event apparel options, with both tech shirts and cotton tanks distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at packet pick up. Runners choose either a finisher medal or a finisher bag; availability may vary by finish location. Packet pick up is held in advance at designated locations: an early session in Fort Myers at Poke Fusion and a session in Naples at Restore Hyper Wellness (Naples Boulevard location). There is no regular race day packet pick up; race day pick up is reserved for emergencies only.
Parking is available at The Village Shops on Venetian Bay. An athlete guide and tracking app are listed as resources for participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
