Run for a Cause

Supporting Central California Food Bank
We believe a great race is about more than the finish line.
This Thanksgiving, the Clovis Turkey Day Run is proud to give back to our community through the Central California Food Bank, helping provide food to local families who need it most.
So lace up, bring your people, and come run with purpose. Because when we run together, our miles can make a difference far beyond the course.
