Run for the Hungry Kids (12 and under) 1/4 mile is happening on Thursday, November 24, 2022 at 08:00AM CST at 465 Mahr Park Drive with tickets starting at $10.00

Join us at beautiful Mahr Park for a 5k run/walk and kids 1/4 mile fun run on Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, November 24th, 2022, and raise much needed funds for the Christian Food Bank of Hopkins County.

Kids run starts at 8am, SHARP. 5k run/walk starts at 8:15am, SHARP

Strollers and well-behavedLEASHED dogs are welcome (we ask that you start behind the runners.)

PACKET PICK-UP will take place from 12:00pm-3:00pm on Wednesday, November 23rd, and beginning at 7:30am on race morning.

Registration will be open at packet pick up on Wednesday, November 23rd and race morning 7am- until 8am, Thursday November 24th (we cannot guarantee a t-shirt with this option!)

In order to give as much money as possible to the food bank, we are choosing to pass the processing fees on to our participants. ($2.20 per 5k runner.) The more people you sign up at one time, the lower the overall processing fees, so get the whole family out and start a new Thanksgiving tradition!
