What better way to get your Thanksgiving Day started than with a great energy-raising run? Well, how about a Thanksgiving Day run that also supports local food pantries?

The Pfeathered Pfun Runs take place Thanksgiving Day. Choose to run either a 5K (~3 miles) or 10K (~6 miles), depending upon how hungry you want to be for dinner. For the younger runners, we also offer a Little Trotters Kids' K.

Each year since the inaugural event in 2014 (except for that year we all want to forget), this event has grown in popularity. We celebrate each finisher with medals, t-shirts and lots of pumped-up cheering! We are very excited to once again present this event again in 2025.

Come and join us for our 11th anniversary run!

For those who would like to participate in the run but are not in town Thanksgiving morning, there is a virtual run option available. Same finisher medal, same t-shirt - you just do the race distance you choose on your schedule, wherever you may be.
***NOTE: Virtual runners are not eligible for awards.

All participants REGISTERING PRIOR TO OCTOBER 15th will receive a long-sleeve t-shirt and finisher's medal, regardless of which run is completed. NOTE: Those registering for a virtual run, will receive their shirts and/or medals after the event.

Where:

All of the runs take place at Lake Pflugerville. Start and finish will be at the North Beach Pavilion.

This is a charitable event. A portion of the proceeds will be divided among the local food pantries involved.

Packet pickup will be race morning at the lake, starting at 6:30am.

Directions: From downtown Pflugerville, take Pecan Street (or from Highway 130, take Pflugerville Parkway) east to Weiss Lane. Turn left (north) and go just past the lake. The entrance to the parking will be on your left. (Note: Use 18216 Weiss Lane, Pflugerville, TX for your mapping on the Garmin, if needed).

Race morning, parking is available at the park. Please do NOT try to enter the cul de sac at Lake Pflugerville, as it will be closed. If the paved parking is full, please park on the south side of the lake. It is a short walk across the dam.

To truly be part of a community, we believe it is important for us to support the causes in need. With this thought in mind, proceeds of this event will support local food pantries.

To augment this opportunity to give back to the community, canned goods and non-perishables will be collected for the Pflugerville-area food pantries. Food donations will be happily accepted race morning. Donated food will be divided between the food pantries involved in this year's race. And THANKS!

If you prefer, you will also have the opportunity during your event registration (AND even race morning!) to donate cash to the effort.

All donations will be 100% forwarded to the food pantries.

We want to thank you all who have participated in previous Pfeathered Pfun Runs. It has been an awesome multi-year adventure, with thousands of dollars donated to various local food pantries over the years, and we are extremely happy to get back to celebrating Thanksgiving with you all for our 2025 event!
