Event Description

6th Annual Gobbler 5k and 1 mile Kids Fun Run

First Christian Academy is hosting the 6th annual Gobbler 5k Run on Thursday, November 22, 2018.  Join us on Thanksgiving morning for a 1 mile fun run and 5k event! Run, walk, or stroll with your family through beautiful Starkey Park in New Port Richey, Florida. While you’re getting a great workout, you can also feel good about helping local students. All event proceeds from the Gobbler Run go to support First Christian Academy. 

The Gobbler 5k will be a chip-timed race. Participants will receive a beautiful finisher’s medal and finisher tech-t-shirt (if registered by November 1st). 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each age group will also receive a placement trophy! The event is family friendly with  a fun festival after the races with music, vendors that provide refreshments and fun! 

PACKET PICK UP will be on Wednesday 11/21/18  from 4 to 6 PM at Starkey Park in the Educational Center.  Please take advantage of early pick up so on Thanksgiving morning all you have to do is show up and run!  

All participants will be parking in the fields at the entrance of the park. The race is in the center in the park (same awesome spot as last year) with the start and finish located at the Educational Center/ Information Kiosk. Please plan to make the walk from the fields in the front (main parking area last year) to the Educational Center.

Jogging strollers are welcome.

Gates to the park open at 7AM Thanksgiving morning. PLEASE do not go to the gate sooner then 7AM if you are a participant. Our vendors and volunteers need to get in and get set up. This is going to be the best race you have ever participated in! Be excited!
