Turkey Day 5K - Run the race before you stuff your face!
What is the Turkey Day 5K?
The Turkey Day 5K is a fun, festive holiday event the whole family can enjoy together…a Garner tradition in the making! And all for a great cause...supporting NC animal shelters and rescues. Race options include a Competitive 5K, Recreational 5K and a 1M Fun Run/Walk. Competitive runners will appreciate the relatively flat course with paved trails; recreational runners and walkers will enjoy the beauty of White Deer and Lake Benson parks. Thanksgiving themed costumes, decorated wagons, strollers and baby joggers are encouraged. Well socialized dogs are welcome on a 6’ or shorter leash…no retractable leashes will be permitted.
