From the Organizer
This Thanksgiving, every step you take helps put food on the table for Utah families.
Right now, 445,000 Utahns are at risk of missing a meal—including 1 in 5 children who don't know where their next meal will come from. Together, we can help change that. Join thousands of runners, walkers, families, and friends at the 21st annual Utah Human Race, one of Utah's largest Thanksgiving Day 5K/10K traditions. Each year, nearly 5,000 participants come together with one purpose: to support Utah Food Bank's mission of Fighting Hunger Statewide.
Every registration directly benefits Utah Food Bank and helps provide meals to neighbors in need. Whether you're chasing a personal best, walking with loved ones, or showing off your favorite Thanksgiving costume, you'll be making a meaningful difference with every mile. Kick off your Thanksgiving morning in Sandy on November 26 with a race that gives back. Burn a few calories, create lasting memories, and help ensure more Utah families can enjoy a Thanksgiving meal.
Register today—and fight hunger with your feet.
NO SAME-DAY REGISTRATION OR TIMING CHIPS.
