About this race
Burn a few calories before the big meal. The 14th Annual Stuffing Strut brings together hundreds of neighbors each Thanksgiving morning for a 5K walk/run through Chester Frost Park in Hixson. Whether you're going for the medal or the excuse to eat an extra slice of pie, there's a spot for you at the start line.
All finishers receive a race t-shirt. Top finishers in each age bracket take home a commemorative medal.
Every registration dollar goes directly back to the community. Proceeds support Northside Neighborhood House, Soddy Daisy Food Bank, Dallas Bay Volunteer Fire Department, and the Soddy Daisy Middle School Jim Wilson Fund.
Registration opens at 7:30 a.m. | Race begins at 8:30 a.m. | Chester Frost Park Pavilion, Hixson, TN
