About this race
The Glowing Gobbler 5K is an evening road race held at Newport News Park. It is scheduled before the Thanksgiving meal, winding through Celebration In Lights. This race is a flat, fast 5K, suitable for runners seeking a simple holiday run instead of a lengthy or complex course.
The participant count typically ranges from 500 to 1,000, creating a community holiday-run atmosphere rather than that of a large city race. There is no children's run and no Boston-qualifying component; the appeal lies in the after-dark park route, the light display, and the opportunity for a short run before Thanksgiving dinner.
