Event Description

Before the turkey and the stuffing take part the most LIT holiday run of the season. The Glowing Gobbler 5K is an evening race that gives runners a unique opportunity to run through Newport News Park's Celebration In Lights. Get in the holiday spirit and have a little run while you are at it!

Entry fees are non-refundable; race numbers and entries cannot be transferred to other persons. No exceptions. This means once we have received your entry, you will not receive a refund if you cannot participate, and you may not give or sell your number or timing chip to anyone else.


After you cross the Glowing Gobbler finish line, head inside Fairways BBQ and Grill (near the start/finish) for free cider, hot chocolate, and the best post-race vibes! Inside, you’ll also find an exclusive IPA for the Glowing Gobbler available for purchase, as well as pulled pork sandwiches and chicken noodle soup.
It’s going to be your perfect spot to warm up, refuel, and celebrate with your Gobbler gang.
