Alpine Bank Boulder Thanksgiving Day 5K

Join us on Thursday, November 26, for the Alpine Bank Boulder Thanksgiving Day 5K & Kids 800m Fun Run in the heart of Downtown Boulder!

Whether you’re running for a personal best, walking with family and friends, or kicking off your Thanksgiving celebrations, this is a community tradition you won’t want to miss.

The scenic course winds through the streets connecting the West End and East End of Pearl Street before finishing on the iconic Pearl Street Mall in front of the historic Boulder County Courthouse.

Run past some of Boulder’s most famous landmarks:

• Hotel Boulderado – Established 1909
• Boulder Theater – Opened 1906
• Boulder County Courthouse – Built 1933
• Pearl Street Mall – Since 1977

More than just a race, this event is a celebration of family, friendship, community, and the many things we have to be thankful for. It’s also an opportunity to give back, with proceeds supporting Harvest of Hope Pantry.

Harvest of Hope Pantry is the only food pantry in Boulder that serves everyone who comes through its doors. Every week, they provide free supplemental food to approximately 750 shoppers, distributing an average of 3,500 pounds of food every day. Through food drives, local farm donations, retail food recovery, and community support, they provide hope to individuals and families facing food insecurity.

Because of their strategic partnerships and buying power, every dollar donated provides one nutritious meal for someone in need.

To help make an even greater impact, 10% of every race registration will be donated directly to Harvest of Hope Pantry.

Together, we can celebrate Thanksgiving while helping ensure our neighbors have food on their tables.

Register before 11:59 PM on Sunday, October 4, to receive your FREE official long-sleeve race shirt.
