The Turkey Day Run and Gobble Wobble 5K in Charleston, SC dates back to 1914 and remains one of the biggest timed 5K in the U.S.

The Turkey Day Run & Gobble Wobble 5K in Charleston, SC sponsored by the Knights of Columbus, has evolved significantly since its inception in 1914. Originally a footrace from Charleston to Summerville, it was reimagined in 1978 into the current 3.1-mile format known as the Turkey Day Run & Gobble Wobble 5K.

Over the years, it has grown into South Carolina’s largest 5K and the ninth largest timed 5K in the U.S., attracting over 8,000 participants annually. The event now includes a festive post-race party with live music and refreshments, making it a community tradition on Thanksgiving morning.
