About this race

The tradition returns for its 24th year and it’s bigger than ever.

1 Mile Family Walk/Run
1 Mile Kids Race (ages 3–12)
5K Timed Walk/Run
10K Timed Run

Every finisher earns a medal, because every step matters.

Make a morning of it at our Turkey Tailgate, featuring a fully equipped Kids Zone, local vendors, and interactive booths that bring the community together. Whether you're racing, cheering, or just soaking it all in, there’s something for everyone.

But this is more than a race.
