1st Annual Gobble Wobble 5K

Cape Girardeau, MO -- November 24, 2011

The newly formed SEMO Tri-Team looks to introduce itself to the community with its First Annual Gobble Wobble 5K.  The Osage Center is host to the new event on the morning of Thanksgiving Day.  Yes, there was a race, overall and age-group winners, and PRs.  (The full results are at Cape Road Runners: http://www.caperoadrunners.org/Results/2011/gobble%20wobble.pdf ).  However, the real story was a celebration of the holiday and families and friends coming together to share the enjoyment that comes from living a healthy and active lifestyle.
Race Director and Club President Taylor Vaughan gives directions... 

...to the nearly 200 participants.

Families...

...friends...

...and lots of food.

  1. very good race and hopefully this will continue as a turkey day tradition. nice to see such a large turnout. one recommendation would be to have the race shirt say something about the race name and maybe have a picture of a turkey. keep up the good work
