Parker Parks and Recreation Turkey Day 5K

The Parker Parks and Recreation Turkey Day 5K FUN Run/Walk is a family-friendly event held annually in Parker, Colorado, starting and finishing at the Parker Recreation Center. This non-competitive 5K course loops through closed roads and trails, including Recreation Drive, Jordan Road, the E-470 Trail, and the Cherry Creek Regional Trail, offering a safe and scenic route. Participants enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with waves based on pace, and strollers are welcome, though dogs, bikes, and scooters are not allowed for safety.

Registrants receive a commemorative knit beanie, race bib, and warm beverages like hot cocoa or cider. Proceeds support the Town of Parker Scholarship Program. The event takes place rain or shine. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
