The Go!bbler
Go!Running, the specialty running store in the Heights, will hold The Go!bbler Thanksgiving Day beginning at 8 a.m. at the shop, 1819 North Grant Street.
The Turkey Trot has grown into a great way to start Thanksgiving Day for thousands of runners across the country, and The Go!bbler is Little Rock's addition to this tradition.
It is a fun, family course that will cover all aspects of running: covering road, track, trails, and a few other "surprises," Gary Taylor, owner of the shop, said.
"Last year, we were a new shop, and we had people coming in who had lived in other states saying, hey, where is Little Rock's Turkey Trot? It was embarrassing to say we didn't have one," Mr. Taylor said.
"So, we are having this. It is a social run, not a race. And we'll have some fun with it."
There will be a t-shirt swap; bring an old one with you to add to the mix and pick out a different shirt. Pies will be awarded as prizes for some surprise categories.
Bring a can of food to enter. All collected foods will be given to donation programs serving the community for Thanksgiving. The event is cosponsored by the shop and the Little Rock Racquet Club and LRAC.
For more information, stop by the shop or call Gary at 663-6800.
