ABOUT THE RACE
If you think the only race on Thanksgiving Day is seeing who gets a second helping of pumpkin pie first, guess again! Before lifting a fork, watching football, and taking a post-turkey snooze, hundreds of Andersonians start their holiday with the Electric City Gobbler.
We welcome elite runners, weekend warriors, mamas with strollers and kids alike on our fast 5K course. If you have a flair for costumed fun and enjoy prizes, then lucky for you (and your love of green bean casserole) we are here, so get signed up, you turkeys!
Giving back: proceeds help scholarship kids in the community stay active through our Operation Active Kids (OAK) program.
