Join us at beautiful Mahr Park, Madisonville, for a 5k run/walk and kids 1/4 mile fun run on Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, November 26th, 2026 and raise much needed funds for the Christian Food Bank of Hopkins County. Kids run starts at 8am, 5k run/walk starts at 8:15am Strollers and well-behaved LEASHED dogs are welcome. We ask that you start behind the runners. (Please clean up after your dog!) While there is no official cut-off time for this event, please note that we will begin dismantling the course at 9:30 AM to allow our volunteers to return home and celebrate Thanksgiving with their families. This does not mean you need to end your run or walk early—feel free to finish at your own pace! Award ceremony will be held at 9:15 am. Prizes will be award to: First Male/Female Overall 5k, First Male/Female Over-40 5k, First Male/Female Under-18 5k,First Stroller, First Dog 5k First Male/Female - Kids Run (U-12) In the event that an overall winner also wins their age group, they will not receive two prizes, the next runner to finish in that category will receive the prize. 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!

Information US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help.
