The Thanksgiving Day 5K Run & Family Stroll presented by T-Mobile, Kansas City’s longest-running turkey trot, is a family friendly tradition for adults, kids and even your (leashed) dogs! And, as the final annual fundraiser for the Kansas City Sports Commission, it’s one last way to celebrate a historic year for sports in our community.
On Thursday, November 23, runners and walkers will gather at Aspira Campus, located in the heart of Overland Park, to partake in a 5k before enjoying freshly baked doughnuts courtesy of Krispy Kreme. Participants also receive a comfortable long-sleeved tri-blend race shirt, giveaway item from T-Mobile and complimentary race photos. Bonus: Children are invited to do a “Fun Run” at 10am!
All proceeds benefit the Kansas City Sports Commission, a privately funded nonprofit dedicated to impacting the region through the acquisition of high-profile sporting events like the Big 12 Basketball Championships, 2023 NFL Draft and FIFA World Cup 26.
This event also supports WIN for KC, which provides opportunities for women and girls to become empowered through sports. Annual programming includes the Women’s Sports Awards, Camp WIN and the BLVD Revel Run.
Whether you’re running, jogging or walking, the Thanksgiving Day 5K Run & Family Stroll presented by T-Mobile is the perfect way to bring friends and family together for a fun-filled morning. We’ll be waiting at the finish line with a doughnut (or two) for you!
