From the Organizer
445,000 Utahns are at risk of missing a meal today. Even more alarming is that 1 in 5 Utah kids are unsure where their next meal is coming from.
The Utah Human Race on Thanksgiving morning is one of the largest 5K/10K events in the state, attracting close to 5,000 participants every year, and all proceeds directly benefit Utah Food Bank's mission of Fighting Hunger Statewide. This year marks the 21st anniversary of this family-friendly race, which is a major component of our annual Holiday Food & Fund Drive. So join us in Sandy on Thanksgiving morning (November 26), preferably in costume, to help fight hunger while you make room for Thanksgiving dinner!
NO SAME-DAY REGISTRATION OR TIMING CHIPS.
