Join us for the inaugural BackRoads Family Drumstick Dash, the grand finale of the HOKA Hat Trick Series, on Thursday, October 9th!
This Thanksgiving-inspired event offers both adult runs and kids races, bringing together families and the community for a fun, meaningful day.
As we march through the neighbourhood, we’ll be supporting the London Food Bank, ensuring that our local community members in need can enjoy a hearty Thanksgiving meal. This event is about more than just running – it's a chance to give back and come together in the spirit of philanthropy, gratitude, and family.
We invite participants to wear their best Thanksgiving-themed attire as we celebrate this cherished holiday tradition. Whether you're running or walking, it’s a wonderful opportunity to spend time with loved ones, embrace the season of giving, and support those in need as we make room for that Thanksgiving feast!
Register your family, come out for an evening of fun, movement, and community spirit. Help make this Thanksgiving extra special for those who need it most. We can’t wait to see you there!
