Gobble, Jog, and Strut Your Stuff!
Get ready to hit the pavement in style—questionable style, that is! Join us for the most hilariously festive run of the season at Green Lake Park: the Tacky Turkey Sweater 5K.
Dig out your most outrageous, over-the-top, turkey or holiday-themed sweater (the tackier, the better!) and jog, waddle, or strut your way through a 5K course filled with laughter, fall vibes, and questionable fashion choices.
Bring your friends, your family, and maybe even your weird uncle who actually owns a turkey sweater collection. (Leave your pet turkey at home—trust us on this one.)
Expect:
Festive photo ops
Fabulous prizes for the tackiest sweaters
A fun and inclusive community vibe
So lace up, layer up, and let your turkey flag fly. Let’s make this the most unforgettable (and eye-watering) sweater parade Green Lake Park has ever seen!
