About

For years the Thankful Turkey 5K has been put on by Bluebonnet Lions Club, its biggest annual fundraiser, to raise funds to give it all back to the community through grants and scholarships. We love adding this funny twist in honor of our beloved San Marcos!

We can't wait to see you! Invite your friends to join you for this one-of-a-kind race theme and enjoy celebrating the season as we hand out turkeys, hams, and pies to age group winners!

Need help getting started on a training program? Here's a plan you can adapt to you!

Bring your team to this For the Love of Go race and #repyourteam! No need to register together or name your team when you register for the race. Just bring all your peeps to the race, scan the QR code near the starting line to check in each team member. Once the race starts, the team with the most check ins WINS fantastic prizes and bragging rights! So, get it together, and come #repyourteam!
