Event details
The ODO Gobbler Run & Ruck takes place on November 29, 2025 in South Glastonbury, CT, with the course beginning and ending at Hops on the Hill Brewery. The event is an off-road run and ruck through local farm lands. The event is professionally timed. A finish line party will offer bowls of chili (meat and vegetarian options), s'mores, and a freshly brewed pint from Hops on the Hill Brewery; non-alcoholic beverages will be available.
