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 Program, which gives low income families and individuals access to programs such as swimming lessons and therapy classes. 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 am and the 5K race starts a few minutes later at 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.
The 1K kids race will begin at 9:30 am.This race is an untimed event and each finisher will earn a participant ribbon and goodie bag. The top overall male and female finishers will be honored during the awards.
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.
We encourage our wackier racers to embrace their inner goofball and dress up in costumes and creative attire. In the past, we’ve had Turkeys and Pilgrims mixed in with the crowd. It really adds to the fun!
The course will be marked with arrow signs, volunteers at every corner and cones at busier crossings. Take a few minutes to review the course maps before the race. You will also receive a course map and event program with your packet.
The awards and raffle will be in the Linus Pauling Middle School gym at 10 am.
