Event Overview
Gather your people and join The Run League for Friendsgiving 5K/10K — a fall race made for friends, family, and the people who make running (and life) more fun.
Whether you’re chasing a PR, taking your first 5K at your own pace, or just looking for a fun morning with your favorite people, there’s a spot for you at the starting line.
Bring your best friend. Bring your siblings. Bring your coworkers. Bring the whole family. Come run together, walk together, cheer each other on, and celebrate crossing the finish line together.
Choose the 5K or 10K, invite your people, and make a morning of it. Because Friendsgiving is better when everyone gets to the table — and in this case, the finish line.
What to Expect
- Race Options: 5K & 10K race options
- Race Atmosphere: A welcoming, community-focused race atmosphere
- Theme: A festive fall Friendsgiving theme
- Finisher Medal: Finisher medal awarded
Your people. Your pace. Your finish line. Grab your crew, register together, and make Friendsgiving 2026 one to remember!
