Gobble and Go 5k Walk/Run

The Gobble and Go 5k Walk/Run takes place on Thanksgiving morning at Chappapeela Sports Park in Hammond, Louisiana, beginning at 19325 Hipark Boulevard. The primary event is a 5k suitable for runners and walkers. An earlier 1-mile Fun Run offers a shorter, family-friendly choice, and a virtual 5k is available for remote participation. The race is organized by Creole Fitness, The A.G.A.P.E Project, and Chappapeela Sports Park. It emphasizes mental health alongside physical activity, aiming to reduce stigma concerning stress, depression, grief, and anxiety. Creole Fitness contributes a local wellness perspective through Nicole Harrison, an Army veteran, certified fitness trainer, and personal coach. Her work involves fitness programs, personal training, and community events focused on physical and mental well-being.
