Gobble on the Green is a pre-turkey dinner turkey trot, set for 9:00 A.M. Thursday, November 23, 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 23. Be sure to register before November 7 to receive a 2023 commemorative Turkey Trot t-shirt.
Early packet pickup will be on Wednesday, November 22 from 3:00 to 6:00 P.M. at The Village Green’s Lewis Hall at 160 Frank Allen Road. On this date and time, you can check in early and get your bibs and t-shirts. Awards will be presented on the Common’s Lawn stage at 9:30 A.M., followed by random drawings for local door prizes. Participants must be present to receive prizes.
In addition to the 5K, The Village Green offers the second annual Junior Warrior Course, a scavenger hunt type of obstacle course for children in different age groups on Thanksgiving morning. The Junior Warrior Course will be staged at The Village Green Playground starting at 9:30 A.M. and is free for all children. No registration is required and prizes will be awarded to all Junior Warriors.
