Gobbler 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run

The Greensboro Gobbler is a Thanksgiving morning 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk held at Center City Park in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. It is Greensboro's largest turkey trot, a position it has held for over 24 years, making it a local holiday fixture. The shorter distance accommodates walkers, children, strollers, and families seeking a relaxed start before the holiday meal, while the 5K offers competitive runners a course. Pets are permitted, registration includes a long-sleeve Gobbler T-shirt, and the event benefits a charitable cause.
