Get your Thanksgiving holiday off to a healthy start this year! We all love indulging on a huge Thanksgiving feast so to balance it out, start the day off with a run. Join in on one of the two special Turkey day races! These are great races to do with the whole family since you can walk too if you like. Not only is it the perfect day to exercise, but you also get to work up an appetite. Feel free to dress up, for either event!

Scheels Turkey Trot

For this exciting run, you can choose a fun 2 mile walk or run or a timed 10K run. Races start and finish in the Scheels parking lot at the Outlets at Sparks, 1200 Scheels Drive. The 2 mile race will start at 8:30 a.m. and circle around the Sparks Marina. The 10K course will go along the local bike path and nearby city streets at 8:30 a.m. Every runner and walker participating  receives a commemorative long-sleeve souvenir shirt. There will also be fresh fruit and refreshments. All the proceeds benefit Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful and the City of Sparks Youth Scholarship Fund.
For more information, e-mail recinfo@cityofsparks.us or call (775) 353-7898.

Wobble Before You Gobble

This family event is set in the heart of downtown Reno! You and your family will start at Reno City Plaza and go down the Truckee river path through Idlewild Park then head back to the finish line. You can sign up for a 10K or a 5K, either way you get to spend the morning with a great work out. The event is sponsored by the City of Reno and benefits ​The Children’s Cabinet. The 10K starts at 9 a.m. and the 5K starts at 9:10 a.m. Sign up now!
