Gobble on the Green is a pre-turkey dinner turkey trot, set for 9:00 A.M. Thursday, November 28, at the Village Green in Cashiers.
If the prospect of settling into a post-Thanksgiving dinner stupor leaves you weary and wary, the Village Green has a tradition that’s sure to get your mind and body into the correct spirit of the holiday – its 5K Run/Walk turkey-trot, Gobble On the Green, set for 9:00 A.M. Thursday, November 28.
You can register at RunSignUp.com/GobbleOnTheGreen. Be sure to register by November 10 to ensure your t-shirt size is submitted before the final order is placed.
Early packet pick up will be on Wednesday, November 27 from 3:00 to 6:00 P.M. inside Lewis Hall at The Village Green. Here, participants can pick up their bibs and t-shirts early. Race day check-in will be available from 7:15 to 8:30 A.M.
Additional activities include the third annual Junior Warrior Course held at The Village Green Playground for children. This fun and interactive course is free and family-friendly.
Please keep in mind that some areas of the race course are gravel, grass, dirt and paved. While The Village Green is a dog friendly park, due to the number of participants, there is no dog participation with this event.
Four door prizes from local businesses will be given based on random bib number drawings beginning at 9:30 A.M. on the Commons Stage. Awards for the top two overall winners in eight age categories will begin after door prize announcements. Participants must be present to win.
