🎉 Join the Celebration!
Join us for the 20th Anniversary of the Gobbler Classic! Grab your running or walking shoes, your Gobbler swag and hit the pavement with family & friends at Faith Church Dyer on Thursday, November 28 as we continue our Thanksgiving tradition of The Gobbler Classic 5K Walk/Run. This race has become a staple for many, as we raise funds for local food pantries in Faith Church communities. Last year we raised over $20,000 - and this year we look to set a new record in celebration of 20 years of this Thanksgiving tradition.

❓ FAQs
- Are strollers allowed? Strollers are allowed on the 5K route. We ask for those pushing a stroller to line up with the walkers or behind the runners, should you choose to run.
- Are dogs allowed? We love dogs but we request all four-legged friends stay at home. For the safety of all participants, dogs are not allowed on Faith Church property during the event, both the race route and inside the church.
- Can I volunteer? YES! Volunteers are needed to make any event a success! We could use assistance with check-in, race route marshals, beverage set-up, giveaway distribution, etc. Email bfrank@WeAreFaith.org.
- Can I use a drone? Technology can be super cool, especially from a bird's eye view: however, due to insurance restrictions, drones are prohibited.
