The race includes an after party with live music and food trucks. The Chilil Cook-Off will occur between 1-5pm with chili gourmet judges tasting each batch, then declaring the winner(s) with a trophy going to best chili. Cost of entry is $50 for the Chili Cook-Off, and funds raised will go toward the Kiwanis mission of helping kids in our community, including planned development of a brand new playground to help kids unplug and enjoy fun exercise outdoors.

The family-friendly 5k Turkey Trot run/walk kicks off at 2:00 PM, bringing our community together for a fun and festive way to start the holiday. DJ Joe Ford will be in the park from 1-5pm.
