This Thanksgiving tradition starts at Suffolk’s Downtown Festival Park in the early morning, with the 10K and 1-mile events benefiting local charities and community organizations. The 10K course is road-based, mostly flat, weaving through city streets and neighborhoods, while the 1-mile is a shorter fun loop ideal for families and novices. Entry includes a race T-shirt, finisher medal, chip timing for the 10K, post-race refreshments, and awards by age group. Many participants dress in festive or turkey-themed costumes, and the event fosters community spirit, holiday energy, and a fun, inclusive atmosphere.
