Boys & Girls Clubs of the Midlands hosts the fifth annual 8K & 3K Turkey Day Run on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26. Both races will support the 31 area Boys & Girls Clubs of the Midlands.

 

“Boys & Girls Clubs have been a part of the Midlands community since 1959, and in the past few years, we’ve held the Turkey Day Run through three cities in the Midlands,” says Carter Clark, President of Boys & Girls Clubs of the Midlands. “The race really exemplifies what the Boys & Girls Clubs are all about – family-oriented, healthy activities that impact the Midlands community.”

 

Both races begin and end at the Colonial Life Arena at 801 Lincoln Street. The 8K course, which is USA Track & Field Certified, will take runners and walkers through downtown Columbia, across two bridges and through West Columbia and Cayce, where participants will enjoy views of the Columbia skyline.

 

Pre-registered runners and walkers will receive an official race t-shirt, and 3K runners/walkers receive participation ribbons. 8K participants in various categories will receive awards and male and female overall winners will receive gift certificates.
