Event Overview*

The Electric City Gobbler 5K & 1-Mile Fun Run isn’t just a race—it’s a Thanksgiving Day Tradition! that kicks off Thanksgiving morning with over 1,100 runners in the 5K and 350 in the 1-Mile Fun Run last year alone. Families, friends, and runners of all levels come together for a morning of fitness, fun, and gratitude before the holiday festivities begin.
