This special day is dedicated to giving thanks to our pets—past and present—for the joy, love, and companionship they've brought into our lives and homes. Enjoy a scenic course alongside a golf course and vibrant community park—perfect for both serious runners and casual participants. Whether you're chasing a PR on a fast course or simply looking for a joyful way to start your holiday, this event has something for everyone. We’re offering a 5K, 10K, Kids’ Mile, and our always-popular Doggy Mile!

All proceeds benefit Kane's Animal Rescue, a local nonprofit dedicated to giving abandoned and at-risk pets a second chance at life. So, while you're breaking a sweat, you're also making a difference. Come trot with us, give thanks, and support a great cause—because every step helps save a paw.
