About the Event

Celebrate Thanksgiving by making a difference! Join us for the 22nd Annual Gold's Gym Turkey Day 5K, one of West Tennessee's favorite Thanksgiving traditions. Last year, more than 900 runners came together, and we're excited to welcome 1,000+ participants this year as we run, walk, and give back to our community.

Every step you take helps support RIFA, whose mission is more important than ever. Many children in Madison County face food insecurity, and almost half of Jackson households live in poverty or struggle to earn enough to meet basic needs. Your participation helps RIFA provide food, hope, and essential services to local families when they need them most. Together, we can help ensure that no neighbor has to wonder where their next meal will come from.

Your registration includes:

Long-sleeve race T-shirt
Professionally chip-timed 5K
A fun, family-friendly Thanksgiving morning tradition
The opportunity to make a lasting impact in the Jackson community.

About Jackson

Learn more about the host city, Jackson.

Jackson is a city in Western Tennessee that grew as a crossroads between various railroads in the four cardinal directions. It was the major commerce center of western Tennessee around the time of its founding in 1821 because Memphis had yet to emerge as a dominant community. Jackson hasn't been without its fair share of trials and travails as it knew the systemic ordeals of slavery for cotton production and lynchings and disenfranchisement as well as other places did in the South, plus high crime and tornadoes.
