If you really want to earn that second slice of pumpkin pie bring the family out to the Flagler Avenue Boardwalk to burn off some calories before the delicious festivities begin on Thanksgiving Day. The Gobble Wobble 5K starts and ends on New Smyrna Beach. Whether you choose to walk or run, you'll enjoy gorgeous beach views and time spent with loved ones. The race typically begins at 9am and participants can sign up online. After the race, show your bib to the Flagler Tavern and enjoy a drink of the house.
