About this race
Join us in Lexington Park on Thanksgiving morning for our 4th Annual Gobble Gallop 5K! All proceeds will benefit the St. Vincent de Paul of IHM Food Pantry, which serves our local community by providing food and financial assistance to those in need.
Participants are invited to run or walk the 5K. Strollers and dogs on leashes are welcome. Thanksgiving-spirited apparel is encouraged! The nearly all-flat course will begin and end at IHM, with scenic legs passing our neighboring business properties along Route 235.
We'll be collecting non-perishable food donations at packet pick-up. Drop off your donation with a St. Vincent de Paul volunteer distributing this year's commemorative winter accessory with our event logo!
