Whether you run to win, run for fun, run to support a good cause, or run just because you want a guilt-free day of eating - plan to join us for the 29th Annual Ashburn Farm 10K/5K and 2K Fun Run Thanksgiving Day IN PERSON or virtual races!
Choose to join us at the traditional time and day in person - Thanksgiving Day, November 24 at 8:15 AM or virtually from your own front door and use our RaceJoy technology to "run together" with friends, and family!
Virtual runners can also take advantage of the ability to sleep in on Thanksgiving, and choose to run anytime through the holiday weekend. November 24 - November 27!
Keep your tradition streak alive and run with us on Thanksgiving Day or sometime throughout the holiday weekend! You can do so from wherever you will be spending Thanksgiving!
PLUS
We know you struggle every year deciding if you should do the 10k, the 5k or the 2k, well this year, you can do them all! Choose to run our virtual Thanksgiving Feast challenge which offers ALL the distances! This challenge will have you working off your second (and third) helping in no time!
All proceeds from the run support the mission outreach of Crossroads UMC – local, regional and international. This includes providing food and emergency financial assistance, coats and boots to the unhoused, offering English as a 2nd Language classes, mission trips to help build homes in Guatemala, and continuing to support students in Uganda.
