Event summary
Get ready for a unique running experience at the Turkey-Donut Predict Run on Saturday, November 22nd, 2025, held along the scenic Spring Creek Trail. This isn't your typical 5K race; participants will predict their finishing time before the run starts, with no watches or timing devices allowed! The top five runners who come closest to their estimated times will take home prizes, making this a fun and challenging event for all skill levels.
Best of all, this community-centered event is free, but donations to the Food Bank for Larimer County are strongly encouraged, with a suggested minimum of $10 per person. Each donation earns you a ticket for the exciting raffle featuring fantastic prizes from local businesses. Registration is available both online and on race day, starting at 7:30 a.m. with the race kicking off at 8:30 a.m. Join us for a morning of camaraderie, friendly competition, and supporting a great cause as we gear up for the holiday season!

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). Online registration will close at the EOD Thursday, Nov 22 to give us time to prep. Race morning registration will also be available on-site starting at 7:30a.
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.
