Thanksgiving Day Family 5k Fun Run / Walk
Check-in and bib pick-up will start Wednesday, November 25th at the Cayucos Pier from 2-4pm. Each registered participant will have an assigned bib number and Thanksgiving-themed running socks, while supplies last.
On race day, check-in will begin at 7:15am. We are set to start at 8:30am so be sure to give yourself enough time. Dogs, strollers, and kiddos on scooters are all welcome.
All proceeds will equally benefit Cayucos Elementary School and the California Association of Highway Patrolman Widows & Orphans' Trust Fund.
Thank you for your incredible support, and we can’t wait to see on race day!
