The Edward Jones Great Gobble 5K Run and 2 Mile Walk, formerly known as The Gobble Wobble, is a 5K race taking place on the morning of Thanksgiving Day, and benefiting The Salvation Army! Programming runs deep, and stretches far and wide at The Salvation Army. Whether it's through the Pathway of Hope, helping families carve a pathway out of poverty, the Food Shelf, helping to cure hunger in our community, the Good Samaritan Health Clinic, providing those in our community without health or dental insurance access to quality care, or helping to combat addiction. Please help the Rochester Running Club support The Salvation Army this year, and every year!
"The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members." -Coretta Scott King
