Hillcrest Hope Giving Thanks 5K

The Hillcrest Hope Giving Thanks 5K is an annual chip-timed running event held on Thanksgiving Day in Liberty, Missouri, at the Liberty Community Center. Open to all ages from 4 to 100, the race welcomes runners, walkers, and families with strollers, with safety measures placing strollers and walkers at the back of the start line. The event supports Hillcrest Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to helping homeless families achieve self-sufficiency through transitional housing and community support.

Registration includes a long-sleeve shirt, and packet pickup is available both the day before and the morning of the race. Pets are not allowed, and a virtual 5K option is also offered. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
