This popular event offers a festive atmosphere and a chance to challenge yourself across multiple distances. Starting near Shelter #1 at Holston River Park, runners will navigate a scenic out-and-back course. The 5K participants will complete two loops of the shorter out-and-back, while 10K runners will tackle four loops. Those aiming for the half marathon will embark on six loops of a slightly longer out-and-back course, ensuring a consistent and engaging run for all distances.
Prepare for comfortable race day conditions, with historical weather data indicating typical highs around 64°F and lows around 36°F, alongside a low 14% chance of precipitation. The race kicks off promptly at 9:00 AM, with packet pickup conveniently available starting 30 minutes before the race and closing 10 minutes prior to the start. All finishers will be awarded a themed medal to commemorate their achievement, and costumes are highly encouraged to add to the fun. As part of the US Road Running Race Series, the Gobbler offers a welcoming experience with a generous 3-hour and 30-minute time limit for the half marathon, making it ideal for both competitive runners and those looking to enjoy the experience at their own pace. Remember to register online in advance, as on-site registration will not be available.
