The Bolivar Recreation & Aquatic Center will serve as both the starting and finishing point for the upcoming Gobblin & Hobblin 3K Fun Run & 5K, a community-focused event designed to bring together runners, walkers, and families for a fun and active morning.
Participants can choose between a relaxed 3K Fun Run or a more competitive 5K Timed Race, making the event accessible to all ages and fitness levels. The course begins at the Recreation Center and winds through scenic local spots, including Greenwood Cemetery and the Bolivar Golf Club. For added safety and comfort, the entire route avoids public streets.
Check-in and packet pickup will begin at 8:00 a.m., allowing participants time to get ready before the race kicks off at 9:00 a.m. After finishing, runners and walkers can enjoy complimentary drinks and snacks while connecting with fellow participants.
Adding to the excitement, attendees can enter a raffle featuring a variety of donated items, offering chances to win fun prizes.
The Gobblin & Hobblin event is designed to be family-friendly and inclusive. Families are encouraged to come out and “hobble” along the course together. Pets and strollers are welcome, provided that all pets are kept on a leash and under control at all times.
To ensure a safe environment for everyone, certain items are not permitted on the course, including bikes, scooters, skates, rollerblades, hoverboards, and skateboards.
Whether you're chasing a personal record or simply enjoying a festive outing with loved ones, the Gobblin & Hobblin 3K Fun Run & 5K offers a scenic, safe, and spirited way to get moving in Bolivar.
