Top Ten reasons why you should
participate in the
Give N' Gobble

#10. This may be your only break
         from the in-laws all day.
#9.   Basting? What's basting?
#8.   You are determined not to wear
         your Stretchy Pants this year.
#7.   Best excuse you could come up
         with to get out of kitchen duty.
#6.   It could burn enough calories to
         cover at least the mashed
         potatoes & gravy.
#5.   You know you won't be doing
         anything physical after your
         tryptophan-induced
         Thanksgiving coma.
#4.   Reduces the guilt of the 7,100
         calories most people consume
         on Thanksgiving.
#3.   If you run fast enough you can
         still make the 9:30 am NFL kick
         off.
#2.   Nothing says I'm a true
         Oregonian like a November run
         in the rain...

#1.   Because it's a good thing to do!

Turkey, Gravy, Mashed Potatoes, Rolls with real butter, Stuffing, Green Bean Casserole, Pumpkin Pie, Cheesecake, Chocolate Pie, etc. Is it any wonder that the average American consumes 7100 calories on Thanksgiving?

Thankfully you can offset some of those calories by participating in Sherwood's annual Give n' Gobble 5K run/walk and 10K run on Thanksgiving at 9am @ the Sherwood High School stadium. The purpose of this event, besides being a great way to rev up your metabolism, is to raise money for Helping Hands, a local food bank affiliated with the Oregon Food Bank. This hugely successful annual event has raised thousands of dollars and over 10,000 lbs. of food and for Helping Hands, a local food bank. This single event funds Helping Hands' annual expenses, enabling them to provide hundreds of needy families with not only canned food and other nonperishable items, but also dairy products, and fresh fruits and vegetables. This heart-warming event has become a Thanksgiving holiday tradition, drawing runners and walkers of all ages who want to start the day doing something fun & healthy with their family & neighbors while also helping those less fortunate! Last year we had more than 1000 runners & walkers on Thanksgiving morning and are looking forward to another amazing year.

FREE T-Shirts to registered participants who donate a bag of non-perishable food (while supplies last).

Want to help make a difference? This is a volunteer run event, and we'd love to have your help. Whether you are interested in just helping for a couple hours the day of the event or want to be a bigger part of the team, please contact us!
