Big THANKS to these Riverside Middle School National Junior Honor Society members for helping with this year's kids' 1k race! Their smiling faces directed our littlest runners while keeping them safely on the path.
Looks like they will all be on Santa's nice list this year.

A HUGE Thank You from the Run Turkey Run 5K Race Directors!

What an incredible 13th Annual J and L Tire and Service Center presented Run Turkey Run 5K! This year, we welcomed over 1,000 runners, walkers, strollers, four-legged friends, and volunteers to join us for another unforgettable Thanksgiving morning.

We truly couldn’t put on an event of this size without the dedication of our wonderful volunteers. From months of planning to the early-morning race-day hustle, you showed up in every way. Your time, energy, and heart make this event possible, and we are so grateful for each of you. A special thank you to Jill Oswald for helping us keep up on emails!

A huge thank-you as well to our generous sponsors. Your support not only brings this race to life but also allows us to give back to organizations and individuals in need right here in our community. Your impact reaches far beyond race day.

Stay tuned for updates on how the funds raised this year will be used to support local causes. And don’t forget, you’ll get to help choose next year’s hoodie color and design, so make sure you’re following our page!

Thank you again to everyone who participated, volunteered, sponsored, and supported this year’s race. We’re already excited for next year...see you at the start line! 🏃‍♀️🦃🏃🏻‍♂️

It's race day!
