Santa Monica Gobble Wobble

Keep celebrating Thanksgiving into the weekend with this catchall family-friendly event at Santa Monica's Emerson Park (at the intersection of Lincoln and Wilshire Blvds), chock-full of races, games and activities. Work off those calories in the 5K run/walk (there's also a 1K "Widdle Woddle" for kids 10 and under). Or you can dress up like a turkey and join the costume contest or compete in the potato-sack race and turkey-calling contest. (Winners get a pumpkin spice cheesecake.) A kid zone will have face painting and arts and crafts to keep young ones happy. If you plan to check Gobble Wobble out, bring a can of food to be donated to the Westside Food Bank.
