Gobblers Run 5K

Wake Forest, NC


We're back—and it's a big one! The Jim Allen Group presents the 20th Annual Gobbler’s Run. This family-friendly 5K takes place in Wake Forest, NC on Thanksgiving morning. 

With all proceeds benefiting the Wake Forest Boys & Girls Club, this event is a great way to support the community.  Gobbler's Run has generated over half a million dollars for the Wake Forest Boys & Girls Club! Where else can you run with 2,000 of your closest friends, exercise before the biggest meal of the year AND help 1,000 kids at the same time?
