The Mount Holly Gobble features a 5K run and a 1-mile fun run/walk through Historic Downtown Mount Holly. The event supports the Mount Holly Recreation Department, helping fund youth development initiatives. The 5K course is chip-timed, with overall and age-group awards, and participants receive finish line video and race results via text. Both adult and youth categories are offered for each distance. Shirts are provided to registrants who sign up by the designated deadline.
