Event Description
The Gooding Gobbler is a walk/run 5K held on Thanksgiving. It began in 2013 by Emily Graybeal and friends, as a fundraiser to help a friend cover his medical costs from cancer. Since then it has donated funds to various organizations such as the Gooding Volunteer Group's playground fund and the Gooding Fire Department. This year the Gooding Cross County Team will recieve the proceeds.
Their long time coach, Kent Seifert, has helped with the Gooding Gobbler every year and lots of Cross Country team members participate each year as well. The Gooding Gobbler is excited to pasrtner with these runners for some extra fun this year!
The run/walk starts at North Valley Acadmey which then winds through town and the countryside. All participants will recieve a t-shirt with registration. If you have a child 5 and under their registration will be free. If you would like to purchase an additional t-shirt for them you will have that option when registering. Medals will be given out to top finishers and to other fun categories such as the oldest and youngest runners.
We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you at the race.
