What is a Gobblepalooza?
Our Turkey Trot has always showcased musical performances and playlists by our students, faculty, and community members, making it both a 5K turkey trot and a musical event. Please add your running and walking music to our Facebook page and let us know what you listen to during the 3.1-mile turkey trot! Help keep our event's music alive by posting your favorite running songs with your karaoke or live recorded covers and originals onto our Facebook page. Tag your bands and artists to let them know that we all appreciate their music and their motivational messages!
