Gobble Not On The Green | Cashiers NC
Written By: Ann Self - The Village Green | Issue: 2020/11 - November
Bending itself into new contortions to accommodate a pandemic, Gobble on the Green will be held between November 21 and November 28. To register, visit runsignup.com/Race/NC/Cashiers/GobbleontheGreen5K.
Like so many events affected by the pandemic in 2020, Gobble On the Green, Cashiers’ annual Thanksgiving 5K Run/Walk has been modified to model social responsibility and protect the health and safety of the community.
What won’t change this year are the activities and traditions that make Thanksgiving so special like family, football, and the big turkey feast. So, this year’s turkey trot event will be a virtual Gobble (Not) On the Green to create some fun with friends and family members while raising funds to benefit The Village Green.
Pass the pie, please!
Registration is $30 and includes a long sleeve 2020 commemorative event t-shirt. To register, visit runsignup.com/Race/NC/Cashiers/GobbleontheGreen5K. Run or walk anytime between Saturday, November 21, and Saturday, November 28, then post your time and photo to the website and social media using the hashtag #GobbleNotOnTheGreen.
But wait, there’s more! In the spirit of a race to the finish line, join the Gobble (Not) On the Green competition by becoming a fundraiser. Visit runsignup.com/Race/NC/Cashiers/GobbleontheGreen5K and click “Donate” at the top of the page. Select “Become a Fundraiser” and enter your information or gather a team together to set up your race fundraising page.
The individual or team that raises the most money for The Village Green will receive a gift certificate for Thanksgiving Dinner 2021 from the Cashiers Farmers Market. The dinner includes a smoked turkey and a choice of delicious sides to feed 10-12 people.
The Village Green provides a beautiful, free public space, however it is conserved by a nonprofit organization that depends on contributions to maintain the park and provide such an exceptional venue for the community.
