If you’re a local runner or walker looking to shed a pound or two before you gorge yourself on turkey, mashed potatoes or pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving, a good time to do so is coming soon.

Get in some exercise before your Thanksgiving festivities with the Gobble Wobble 5K, Half-Mile Wee Wobble for children under 5, and the One-Mile Drumstick Dash for youngsters 12 and under, hosted by the Southern Ocean Ladies Running Club on Thursday, Nov. 23.

It’s all a benefit for the Stafford Township DARE program, held at the Stafford Township municipal complex.
