From the organizers
Get ready to lace up for a cause this Thanksgiving Day at the first annual Troutman Gobbler Run 5K — proudly presented and sponsored by the Troutman Ruritan Club!
This brand-new community tradition invites runners and walkers of all ages to kick off their holiday with a healthy, festive 5K through Troutman. When you participate, you’re doing more than earning an extra slice of pumpkin pie — all proceeds go directly back into the Iredell community to pay unpaid tech fees for Iredell-Statesville school students experiencing financial hardship and supporting vital local initiatives such as:
Student Scholarships
Community Service Projects
Family Assistance
Domestic Violence Support
Elderly Assistance
School Tech Fees for Students
