Run the Gobble Gallup in Downtown Duluth BEFORE Your Thanksgiving Meal and Feel Deserving and Less Guilty

If you're like most people, after eating your Thanksgiving meal, you are almost unable to drag your overstuffed body from the dining table to the couch.  You feel stuffed, guilty and vow that you'll start your diet and lose weigh running around on Black Friday.  How about doing a little running BEFORE you sit down to that meal feeling a bit more healthy and a little less guilty.  Run the Gobble Gallop!

The race date is conveniently on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday November 27.  The first of three races starts at 09:00 am. All races start and finish on London Road near 13th Avenue East. The race routes run West on London Road, onto Superior Street, to 5th Avenue West and back.
