The liv like SID Sausage and Gravy and Biscuits 5K

Sunbury, OH
WHAT: Join us for our 15th Annual 5K. The SG&B. Sausage Gravy and Biscuit 5K WHEN: Thanksgiving morning (November 26, 2026) at 9:00AM. Registration will start about 8:15. WHERE: 64 Letts Avenue Sunbury, Ohio 43074. 2011 we started this 5K at our home because we wanted to run a Turkey Trot, but we wanted to stay close to home and have it benefit our local community. The first year we had just a few friends (about 6 runners; more eaters than runners). In 2025 we were able to raise over $6000 in gift cards and cash that was donated to Angel Works. The 2026 SG&B proceeds will be donated to the Angel Works. Angel Works is a local organization that supports families fighting childhood cancer. Start your Thanksgiving morning with a jog, run, sprint or walk. Then after come in and enjoy a home cooked sausage gravy and biscuit breakfast with HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS! The Hatfield Home 64 Letts Ave Sunbury, Oh 43074 Entry Fee: As usual there is no entry fee. Like previous years we ask participants to donate gift cards, cash or check. We are still working through details of this years focus, but rest assured 100% of everything that is donated will go to a family or families in need. One aspect of live like Sid is keeping her memory alive by supporting people who are being impacted by cancer. Sidney would say GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME, and we want others to know just how good GOD can be. This race is truly about exercise, food, family, and fun. Most importantly raising money for families in our community. Please feel free to share this event. It is for anyone who wants to participate. Please comment with the number of runners attending. You may also feel free to ask questions on the event page and we will try to get back right away. Remember this is an event for the family. You can walk or run. We will have the 5K or the 1 mile loop. IF YOU WANT TO COME AND ENJOY WATCHING OR JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN WITH THE REST OF US, COME ON AND WE WILL FEED YOU TOO!
