About this Event

THE 2025 GRATEFUL GOBBLER 5K

The 26th Annual Grateful Gobbler 5K Walk/Run will take place on Thanksgiving morning. Walkers will gather at Coolidge Park for festivities before the 8:00 a.m. start. 100% of the proceeds of the walk will benefit the Maclellan Shelter for Families, an emergency homeless shelter located on site at ChattFoundation at 11th Street in Chattanooga. The Shelter features 13 units with 68 beds for families experiencing homelessness. The Shelter provides a stable environment for families to remain together as they search for permanent housing solutions.

From now through the month of November, Grateful Gobbler volunteers will be present throughout the community seeking your support for the Shelter. Please consider taking a moment today to find a way you can be involved. 100% of all registration fees, sponsorships, and donations to the Grateful Gobbler will directly benefit homeless families, guaranteed!

You can have your t-shirt mailed to you or you can pick your packet up prior to the event. DO NOT EXPECT DELIVERY BY THANKSGIVING IF YOU ARE ORDERING AFTER NOVEMBER 20TH.
