Green Lake Gobble

  • Post author:

If you’re wondering what all those people heading to Green Lake this Sunday are up to, My Green Lake has the scoop. It’s the Green Lake Gobble:

Taking place at Green Lake Park this Sunday, November 22nd, the Green Lake Gobble & Mashed Potato Munch Off will bring over 1,200 event participants to either compete in the 5K run/walk, the free kids dash, or the soon to be a favorite mashed potato competitive eating contest where eight (un)lucky contestants will go head to head for 5 minutes to see who can eat the most mashed potatoes within that time. The winner of the Mashed Potato Munch Off will receive a crown, some money, a lifetime entry into the 5K portion of the event.

…as well as a lifetime of enmity from the Atkins Diet Institute.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
