The family-friendly 5K Gobbler’s Run through Wake Forest will start off at 8 a.m. from the Wake Forest Boys & Girls Club on South Wingate Street on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 22.
The 3.1-mile loop is an easy stroll through downtown and historic Wake Forest. Push your kids or bring your dog – strollers and pets are welcome. You’ll get a race T-shirt and be able to eat more turkey without the guilt! The course is mostly flat and there will be a water stop at the half-way point on North Main Street.
The Jim Allen Group is presenting this year’s race – and along with the families there are serious racers who will be competing. You can find all the details if you go to http://gobblersrun.itsyourrace.com/event.
There is still the early bird registration fee, $20, in effect for those 16 and older until Oct. 31. Registration from Nov. 1 to Nov. 18 is $25, and there is a late registration fee of $30. For children and teens ages 6 through 15 the fees are $5 less than for the older folks. Children 5 and younger are not charged a fee.
Every one who has registered on or before Nov. 11 is guaranteed a commemorative race T-shirt (children 5 and under will not receive a shirt but can purchase one for $10). Additional shirts can be purchased online and on race day.
