It’s the culmination of months of steady effort and the closing chapter of a journey that began with a single mile. This event takes place near Veterans Day, honoring resilience, service, and the power of showing up — again and again. This race is run/walk friendly, and participants may move at their own pace. Whether you run the entire distance or use a run/walk strategy, finishing is what matters.

Saturday, November 14, 2026(Subject to Change)All runners will receive a race shirt and race medal.  Please note courses utilize the Boise Greenbelt system. Should we run the Greenbelt, the river can be unpredictable. Systems and entities that govern the local Greenbelt are constantly dealing with these challenges.

IN-PERSON RUN Our in-person event will take place on a loop course around Cynthia Mann Elementary School. Runners will have two hours to complete as many laps as they choose. Run one lap. Run for an hour. Challenge yourself for the full two hours. You decide how far you want to go. This isn’t about being the fastest runner. It’s about showing up for something bigger than ourselves. Your participation can help a child take their first step onto a team, into a sport, across a starting line, or into a positive environment where they feel supported and encouraged. VIRTUAL RUN Can’t make it in person? You can still be part of the movement! Run 1 mile, 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon—or anything in between. Run on a trail, treadmill, track, through your neighborhood, or with your family at the park during race weekend. Your distance. Your pace. Your location.

Take a picture, share your miles, tag #InspireKidz, and help us spread the mission! EVERY MILE MATTERS ❤️ When you participate, you’re doing more than going for a run.

Welcome to the annual Turkey Day 5k in Boise, Idaho’s favorite Thanksgiving Day tradition. Turkey Day 5K is a whole family fun run designed to kick off your day with fun, energy, and community. Bring the whole "Flock" and run or walk together on Thanksgiving morning! 2025 marks the 14th year that the event benefits both the Boise Rescue Mission and Camp Rainbow Gold. As Boise continues to grow, so does the need for the services these organizations provide. Just by showing up you are already helping us contribute to these great organizations – but you can do more: bring extra canned food, make a donation directly to these groups, or better yet, donate a few hours of your time volunteering with them and you’ll both be rewarded.
