Turkey-Donut Predict Run

Race Overview

Just you wait, because this isn't your ol' run-of-the-mill 5k. Runners have to estimate their finishing time prior to the start: we don't allow time keeping devices of any kind. The top 5 people that come closest to their estimate win. So just because you're fast doesn't mean you'll win this one.

Fundraising Goals

• Entry Fee: The race is FREE and a fundraiser for the Food Bank for Larimer County.
• Participation: All are welcome to participate in the run, but you have to donate to be eligible for the raffle.
• Donation Suggestion: We STRONGLY suggest a minimum donation of $10/person, though will always welcome whatever you're able to give.

Registration Details

• Pre-Registration: BOTH online pre-registration and race day registration are available (though pre-registration makes our lives easier).
• Closing Time: Online registration will close at the EOD Thursday, Nov 22 to give us time to prep.
• On-Site Registration: Race morning registration will also be available on-site starting at 7:30a.

Donation Information

We are STRONGLY encouraging monetary donations this year, which you can make right on your registration form. Cash $$$ helps the most. The Food Bank has resources to buy products at much, much deeper discounts than any of us could buy. The $5 you spend on a 2 jars of PB could be turned into 10 jars through the Food Banks sources.
