Event summary
Get ready to kick off your Thanksgiving with a fun-filled community event at the Gobble Gobble 5K on Thursday, November 26, 2026! Held in the heart of Locust, Stanly, this exciting Turkey Trot invites runners, walkers, and families to come together at 8:00 AM at the Locust Town Center. This second annual event is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a festive morning while earning that extra slice of pumpkin pie later on. The Gobble Gobble 5K will follow a delightful route similar to the Locust Elfie 5K, making it an excellent opportunity to practice for the upcoming festivities. Last year, we saw an impressive turnout of 387 participants and raised over $1200 for the SCCM Community Table, showcasing the event's community spirit. So grab your friends, family, and your best turkey hats, and join us in creating a new Locust tradition that celebrates health, fun, and togetherness this Thanksgiving!
