Gobble Waddle 5K/10K
Smithfield, NC • November 22, 2025
Welcome to 17th Annual Johnston Health Gobble Waddle event presented by HealthQuest Fitness and Wellness Center. It is a timed run and fun walk event for all ages and fitness levels – definitely family, stroller, and dog friendly. Please remember that all dog participants must be friendly and on a fixed leash at all times. Owners must also be sure to clean up behind their dogs. The Thanksgiving holiday is a time of giving and it’s important to remember those in our community who need your help. All participants are asked to bring at least five items of canned food to the event or drop them off at HealthQuest. Canned goods will be donated to our partner food bank agencies right here in our community as well as the SECU Hospice House. All entry fees are non-refundable and include a participant t-shirt, finisher prize for youth under the age of 17, snacks, water, timer, and transaction fees. Preferred t-shirt sizes are not guaranteed for those registering after October 15. 5K Run/Walk Until September 10: $35 per person September 11 - November 22: $40 per person 10K Run Until September 10: $45 per person September 11 - November 22: $50 per person Early Packet Pickup: When: Friday, Nov 21 Where: Health Quest Fitness & Wellness Center Time: 4:00-7:00 pm RACE DAY SCHEDULE Registration/Packet Pickup: 8:00 - 8:30 a.m. 5K/10K Start: 9:00 a.m. Awards ceremony to follow.
