The Lexington-Rockbridge Jaycees are excited to be continuing Lexington's best Thanksgiving tradition with the 14th Annual Lexington Gobble Wobble 5k!

On Thanksgiving Day, we will be hosting both a 5k (walk or run) and Children's Fun Run, making this a community event the whole family can participate in! So come out and enjoy the festivities, but don't worry, we'll still get you home in time to put the turkey in the oven!

*Children's Fun Run Registration will be available starting at 7:30am of the day of the race, and a guardian must be present to sign the waiver. 

Open to runners/walkers of all abilities. Strollers welcome. Pets on a leash are welcome.
