Electric City Gobbler 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run

It's a Thanksgiving Day Tradition!  If you think the only race that happens on Thanksgiving Day is seeing who gets a second helping of pumpkin pie first, guess again!  Before lifting a fork, watching football, and taking a post-turkey snooze, hundreds Andersonian's start their holiday by giving thanks - with the famous Electric City Gobbler 5K and 1 MILE FUN RUN! 

We welcome the tail feathers of Elite runners, weekend warriors, mamma's with strollers and kids alike along our fast 3.1 mile run course - walkers are welcome!  Or, our NEW tradition, the 1 Mile FUN RUN! Proceeds go to scholarship kids in the community to be active through our Operation Active Kids Program, OAK. So, if you have a flair for costumed fun, and enjoy fun, prizes and looking for a reason to feel guilt free about gobbling down all day, then lucky for you (and your love of green bean casserole) we are here, so get signed up you turkeys!!
