It Takes Community - Volunteer Today!
Let’s Talk Turkey—We Need YOU!
Start your Thanksgiving morning by giving back and getting involved at the Turkey Day 5K! We’re looking for cheerful, enthusiastic volunteers to help us serve up smiles and support before and during the race.
Whether you're handing out water, cheering on runners, or serving post race beer, your time and energy help make this festive community tradition a success. Plus, all volunteers receive a warm thank-you gift and major gratitude from our flock!
Give a little thanks, get a little race! 🦃💛
Want to be part of the Turkey Day 5K fun without breaking a sweat? Volunteer with us on race morning—Thursday, 11/27— in race registration or packet pickup, and you’ll earn one (1) FREE adult race entry to use that same day! That’s right—stuff some good vibes into your morning and join the trot!
High school students: Need community service hours? We’re happy to sign off on your time—it’s a great way to give back before the big feast.
Got a whole flock ready to help? Email us at hello@td5k-hr.com to learn about group opportunities and get signed up.
Sign up today to gobble up some good vibes and give thanks by giving back!
