There was also the Tough Turkey 1 mile run, as well as the infamous gobble gallop 5k.

This is Duluth’s 3rd largest race behind Grandma’s half and full Marathon.

For some of the runners, making this a holiday tradition.

“So, the first time I did it, it was infectious. The people cheering, and the crowds and everybody having a good time. And it started to become a tradition for me. So, sometimes my son will run, sometimes all my kids will run. Today, I’m running with my nephew,” said Michelle Halling, 13-time Gobble Gallop runner.

The first runner completed the 5k race in just 15 minutes.
