Electric City Gobbler Thanksgiving Day Tradition 2026

The Electric City Gobbler is a Thanksgiving Day running event in Anderson, South Carolina, offering a 5K and a 1.6 km option. The race begins at 1313 Main Street, providing a downtown Anderson starting point for a holiday-morning run. The structure is straightforward: one distance for those seeking a standard 5K, and another for families, walkers, or anyone preferring a shorter run before Thanksgiving activities. While course details are minimal, the event's character is evident: a local Anderson Thanksgiving tradition centered on accessible distances, not a long or elite-focused competition.
