🦃 Join Us for the 21st Annual Gobbler Classic

Grab your running or walking shoes, your Gobbler swag and hit the pavement with family & friends at Faith Church Dyer on Thursday, November 27 as we continue our Thanksgiving tradition of The Gobbler Classic 5K Walk/Run. This race has become a staple for many, as we raise funds for local food pantries in Faith Church communities. Last year we raised over $44,000!!! - a new record for our Thanksgiving tradition. (Note: Shirt availability is noted in real time: quantities are limited to the first 1,050 participants.)

📅 Gobbler Schedule

  • 8 AM: Race Start Time

❓ FAQs

  • Are strollers allowed? Strollers are allowed on the 5K route. We ask for those pushing a stroller to line up with the walkers or behind the runners, should you choose to run.
  • Are dogs allowed? We love dogs but we request all four-legged friends stay at home. For the safety of all participants, dogs are not allowed on Faith Church property during the event, both the race route and inside the church.
  • Can I volunteer? YES! Volunteers are needed to make any event a success! We could use assistance with check-in, race route marshals, beverage set-up, giveaway distribution, etc. Email bfrank@WeAreFaith.org.
  • Can I use a drone? Technology can be super cool, especially from a bird's eye view: however, due to insurance restrictions, drones are prohibited.
