Join the fun!
Build a hearty appetite for your Thanksgiving feast by participating in this family friendly event. The 5K & 10K courses are flat and fast jaunts through the beautiful neighborhoods surrounding Osborn Aquatic Center in Northwest Corvallis. Runners, walkers, kids in strollers and dogs on leashes are all welcome. All ages welcome too! This fundraiser is a great way to support the Corvallis Parks and Recreation Family Assistance Fund, which gives low income families and individuals access to programs such as swimming lessons, therapy classes and more. Electronic timing services provided! Something for everyone! For little ones, we offer the Little Gobblers 1K. The course is flat and stays on the sidewalk the entire way. Perfect for ages toddler to 12. Parents are encouraged (but not required) to run along with their little ones. Spectators and volunteers are welcome!

The 10K race starts at 8:05 am and the 5K race will start in two waves at 8:10 am and 8:15 am. The race is electronic chip timed so your official time will be from when you step on the start line until you step on the finish line. We are offering an optional 7:45 am 10k walkers start. Official race timing will end at 9:25 am so the earlier start may help walkers finish and get a time recorded. Make sure you pin your race bib on the middle/front of your body to ensure accurate results.
The 1K kids run will begin at 9:30 am. This is a fun and non-competitive run. Each finisher will earn a participant medal and goodie bag. We will be providing race times online following the event.
The start and finish line is in the fire lane between Linus Pauling Middle School and the Boys and Girls Club. Look for the red inflatable arch to the west of the Aquatic Center.
