The 2025 Edward Jones Great Gobble 5K Run & 2 Mile Walk

The 2025 Edward Jones Great Gobble 5K Run & 2 Mile Walk

The 2025 Great Gobble 5K Run and 2 Mile Walk, presented by Edward Jones, is an untimed fun run/walk, taking place on the morning of Thanksgiving Day at Autumn Ridge Church in Rochester! Autumn Ridge Church has once again graciously offered their large, heated, indoor facility so that no matter the weather on Thanksgiving Day, you'll be comfortable before and after the run/walk!

Minnesota Treads staff will direct this event, and hopes to significantly impact Autumn Ridge Church's Big Box initiative, while still providing a donation to The Salvation Army. Each registrant will receive a fun & festive pair of Turkey Gloves ($15 value). The gloves are one size fits most. Additionally, we'll provide Hot Chocolate, Coffee & some of the greatest donuts the world has ever tasted!

Autumn Ridge Church's Big Box program is designed to assist children and families in need by providing as many healthy, non-perishable food items as possible (some fun choices are also encouraged). If you're able to help with an additional food or monetary donation, it would be greatly appreciated!

Please give a special THANK YOU to our friends at Edward Jones for continuing to support this event!
