About this event
The TreesUpstate Turkey Day Run is Greenville's Thanksgiving morning race through the city's beautiful downtown parks. Choose the competitive 8K run or the family-friendly 5K Fun Run & Walk, both starting between 8:30 and 8:45 a.m. with pace-based corrals near Cancer Survivors Park, Falls Park and Unity Park. Proceeds support TreesUpstate, a nonprofit that plants, promotes and protects trees across the South Carolina Upstate. Entry is $30 per event ($20 for kids 10 and under), rising as race day approaches. Note there is no race-day registration or packet pickup, and online registration closes at 6:00 p.m. the day before, so sign up in advance through RunSignup. A festive, scenic way to give back to the environment on Thanksgiving.
