Event summary

Get ready for a unique and exciting challenge at the Turkey-Donut Predict Run on Saturday, November 23, 2024! Held at the picturesque Spring Creek Trail, this isn't your typical 5k race. Participants will estimate their finishing time before the run, without the aid of any timing devices, making it a thrilling test of strategy and stamina. The top five runners who come closest to their predicted times will take home prizes.

This fun-filled event is not only free to enter, but it also serves as a fundraiser for the Food Bank for Larimer County, encouraging community spirit and support. Runners can start at their own pace between 8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., with chip timing provided for accurate results. Plus, you'll have the chance to win fantastic raffle prizes donated by local businesses, with every donor receiving a ticket. Join us for a day of camaraderie, competition, and giving back 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).

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.
