Gasping Gobbler 5k scheduled

LOVELL — Runners and walkers are invited to take part in the seventh annual Gasping Gobbler 5k Walk & Run set for Saturday, November 17 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 special Gasping Gobbler premium!

Register on-line at www.RunReg.com or visit www.Lovell5k.com to download a registration form. The cost is $12 if you pre-register by November 14 and $15 from November 15 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. Turkey awards go to first place male and female runners, first place walker and “middle of the pack,” as well as age category prizes and ribbons for the Top 10 walkers.
