Event summary
Get ready for a unique running experience at the Turkey-Donut Predict Run on Saturday, November 22nd, 2025! Held at the beautiful Spring Creek Trail, this event offers a twist on the traditional 5k race. Instead of relying on speed, participants must estimate their finishing time before the race begins, as no timekeeping devices are allowed. This means that the closest predictions win, making for an exciting and unpredictable competition!
The fun kicks off at 8:30 AM, and runners have until 10:00 AM to complete the course. While the race is free, we strongly encourage a minimum donation of $10 to support the Food Bank for Larimer County, which can stretch your contributions further than you might think! Each donation earns you a raffle ticket for fabulous prizes from local businesses, with the raffle starting promptly at 10:00 AM. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking to enjoy a day out with the community, the Turkey-Donut Predict Run promises to be a memorable event filled with fun, friendly competition, and a chance to give back. Join us for a fantastic day of fitness and philanthropy!

Organiser's Description
Just you wait, because this isn't your ol' run-of-the-mill 5k. Runners have to estimate their finishing time prior to the start; we don't allow time keeping devices of any kind. The top 5 people that come closest to their estimate win. So just because you're fast doesn't mean you'll win this one.
The race is FREE and a fundraiser for the Food Bank for Larimer County. All are welcome to participate in the run, but you have to donate to be eligible for the raffle (which is where the real action is). We STRONGLY suggest a minimum donation of $10/person, though will always welcome whatever you're able to give.
BOTH online pre-registration and race day registration are available (though pre-registration makes our lives easier).
This year, we'll open the start line at 8:30a.
You can start whenever you like, as long as you're back by 10:00a. We'll be directing folks to loosely alternate which direction (east/westbound) they head on the Spring Creek Trail.
The event is chip timed. We'll provide the chips. If you're a FCRC member with a Tortoise & Hare bib, no need to bring it.
This is a PREDICTION run. Enter the time you think you'll run on your registration form. NO WATCHES or timepieces of any sort allowed during the run. We encourage you to rat out your fellow runners!
All who donate to the Food Bank receive a ticket for our famous raffle, where we have prize packs from many local businesses and restaurants, race entries, and much more! Our biggest giveaway of the year! The raffle starts at 10:00a SHARP, you must be present to win, and each individual donating (regardless of size of donation) gets ONE ticket.
We are STRONGLY encouraging monetary donations this year, which you can make right on your registration form. Cash $$$ helps the most. The Food Bank has resources to buy products at much, much deeper discounts than any of us could buy. The $5 you spend on a 2 jars of PB could be turned into 10 jars through the Food Banks sources.
This is a free event so come join the community and test out your legs for the upcoming turkey day races.
