Sherwood Give 'n Gobble 5K & 1-Mile Family Walk

About this adventure

Since 2006, the Sherwood Give 'n Gobble has stood as a beloved Thanksgiving morning cornerstone in southwest Washington County, uniting more than 2,000 neighbors and visitors to celebrate fitness, gratitude, and community support. The event begins at Sherwood High School and winds through the charming tree-lined streets of historic Old Town Sherwood. Participants can choose between a chip-timed 5K run, a 10K distance, or a relaxed 1-mile family walk where parents push strollers and grandparents walk alongside kids. Every dollar raised and all donated non-perishable food items directly support the Sherwood Helping Hands food pantry to supply holiday dinners to local households in need. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Strollers, wagons, and jogger prams are warmly welcomed across all event distances. The route follows broad paved municipal roadways and sidewalks with smooth curb cuts. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Sherwood High School opens its climate-controlled commons, modern restrooms, and baby changing facilities for pre-race staging and post-race warming. • Age Suitability: Welcoming to all ages, from infants in warm bundles to active seniors. • Sensory Tips: Lively community gathering with volunteer marshals and cheerful spectators; the 1-mile walking wave offers a quieter, unhurried pace.
