The Gobbler Classic returns for its 22nd annual running, inviting participants to lace up for a Thanksgiving morning tradition. This 5K walk/run takes place at Faith Church Dyer, fostering community spirit while raising vital funds for local food pantries. Last year, the event successfully raised over $30,000, highlighting its significant impact on the local area. Runners and walkers of all ages can enjoy a festive atmosphere, with awards presented across numerous age brackets. After crossing the finish line, participants are invited to the Atrium for complimentary post-race food and beverages. It is a perfect way to kick off the holiday with family and friends while supporting a meaningful cause.
