Event Description
5K:
Come & shake your tail feather with us on Thanksgiving day with a fun, family-friendly 5k around Buena Vista.
You’ll enjoy a mostly flat course with well-maintained trails, offering great views of the Collegiate Peaks and the Arkansas River.
This run is stroller friendly! There may be a few bumpy sections on trail, but overall it's very smooth. Littles who ride along in strollers need not register.
We welcome all runners, joggers, and walkers!
Family Fun Run:
Cruise around the town for a Family Fun Run which will take place before the 5K.
Young participant finishers will be awarded with a special Turkey Trot medallion!
There will not be registration for the Family Fun Run - Just come out on race day!
The Family Fun Run is free, but donations to the beneficiary are always welcome!
