The Great Gobble Run : Rio Linda
The Great Gobble Run is a charity 5K organized by the Rio Linda Elverta Chamber Of Commerce to benefit the Rio Linda/Elverta Food Closet. The event takes place in Rio Linda at 810 Oak Lane and is held on the third Saturday of November; the 2026 edition is scheduled for November 21, 2026.
The event is open to participants of all ages. Entry for children under 12 is free when a parent or guardian registers, but the child must remain with that registered parent or guardian for the entire course. All participants must complete a waiver and release form; a parent or guardian must sign for participants under 18. Walkers and participants using strollers are asked to start at the back of the starting group for safety. Strollers are welcome and are recommended for younger children who may be unable to complete the full 5K independently.
Dogs and other pets are prohibited in the start areas, on the course, and in pre-race and post-race areas. The organizer states that proceeds will support local families through the Rio Linda/Elverta Food Closet. The event is held in person and offers free parking. The event also notes a no refunds policy. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
