Turkey Day 5k Coming Up with Limited Capacity. Register Soon

Thanksgiving is about to sneak up on you before the thought even enters your mind. This is my reminder because the one on your phone is probably set to 24 hours. That would be a disaster.

I feel like the Presidential Election took so much out of everyone that Thursday, November 26 isn't exactly at the top of our lists yet. Travel will look different this year and I have an event that you can put in your schedule for the family, Turkey Day 5k.

We won't be leaving Boise during that week due to the pandemic. It feels like a mask mandate is on the way, stages could change and the numbers could explode. Is that extreme? Yes. Though I'm not sure I'm not that far off so we might see more families staying in looking for something to do.
