The Gobbler Classic 5K Run/Walk

Grab your running or walking shoes, your Gobbler swag and hit the pavement with family & friends at Faith Church Dyer on Thursday, November 23 as we continue our Thanksgiving tradition of The Gobbler Classic 5K Walk/Run. The Gobbler Classic has become a staple for many, as we raise funds for local food pantries in Faith Church communities. Last year we set a new record for participation and raised over $18,500! We look forward to seeing the impact we’ll make this Thanksgiving, together!

FAQs

Are strollers allowed? Strollers are allowed on the 5K route. We ask for those pushing a stroller to line up with the walkers or behind the runners, should you choose to run.

Are dogs allowed? We love dogs but we request all four-legged friends stay at home. For the safety of all participants, dogs are not allowed on Faith Church property during the event, both the race route and inside the church. 

Can I volunteer? YES! Volunteers are needed to make any event a success! We could use assistance with check-in, race route marshals, beverage set-up, giveaway distribution, etc. Email bfrank@WeAreFaith.org.
