Leashed dogs are welcome at this beloved Thanksgiving morning tradition, bringing together families, friends, and pups for a festive run or walk in support of Freedom Ride Rescue’s mission to help abandoned, neglected, and abused animals in North Carolina. Participants can choose from a 5K or 1M Fun Run on scenic, flat paved trails, with Thanksgiving-themed costumes, strollers and decorated wagons.
