Fifth Annual Gasping Gobbler 5k Walk & Run scheduled

LOVELL—Runners and walkers are invited to take part in the 5th Annual Gasping Gobbler 5k Walk & Run set for Saturday, November 20 at 10 a.m. The 3.1 mile course is at the Lovell Athletic Fields on Smarts Hill Road.

The popular race benefits the Lovell Recreation Department’s youth and adult programs, helping to make them affordable and accessible. The course consists of three wheel-measured loops around the grass and dirt perimeter of the athletic complex and simulates many school cross-country courses and is very spectator friendly. The first 80 entrants receive a Gasping Gobbler winter cap/band.

Register online at Active.com or go to the Lovell Recreation website (www.lovellrec.com) to download a registration form. The cost is $12 if you pre-register by November 17 and $15 from November 18 to race day. A family rate of $30 is for three members and $6 for each additional participant. Refreshments and awards will be presented after the race at the Lovell VFW Hall. Awards go to first male and female finishers, as well as age category prizes, high school and middle school teams, and ribbons for the Top 10 walkers.
