The annual Woodbury Wobble 5K invites participants to indulge in physical activities before their beloved Thanksgiving feast. Participants are encouraged to bring nonperishable food items to help the local food bank. Brooke Selb of Athena Clydesdale Racing, co-host of this event, says, “It’s a wonderful way to start the holiday, combining fitness, community spirit and charity.”

The event is held on Thanksgiving Day (November 28 this year) at Colby Lake Park. For ages 13 and older, the registration fee is $35 and comes with a stocking hat and swag bag. Ages 12 and under are $12, although they can participate for free without receiving the extra goodies. There is also a turkey scavenger hunt along the course for children.
“We’ve had people cross the finish line in tears, sharing that this is their first 5K and a huge milestone for them,” Selb says. “It’s touching to hear how the Woodbury Wobble has become a family tradition for many.”

In the last three years, Athena Clydesdale Racing has donated about $4,000 to the Open Cupboard Food Shelf in Oakdale. Selb says the goal is to raise even more this year. Participants can also donate directly to the Open Cupboard Food Shelf under the Woodbury Wobble website.
