Feast and Feathers Trail Races is an annual Thanksgiving morning tradition that combines the spirit of giving with the joy of running. Since its inception in 2012, this race has not only become a beloved part of Omaha’s holiday calendar but also a significant contributor to local food security efforts through Food Bank for the Heartland. The event features courses designed to cater to runners of all skill levels, from casual joggers to seasoned marathoners. Participants can expect an engaging and scenic route that winds its way through some of Omaha's most picturesque neighborhoods and parks. The race offers a half-marathon distance as well as shorter options, ensuring there’s something for everyone looking to kick off their holiday festivities with a meaningful run. Over the years, Feast and Feathers has raised over $364,000 in donations and provided more than 25,000 pounds of food to those in need. This year's race promises to continue this tradition by offering runners an opportunity to give back while enjoying the festive atmosphere and camaraderie that defines Thanksgiving morning. Join us for a day filled with community spirit, beautiful scenery, and the rewarding experience of contributing to a cause that makes a real difference in people’s lives. Participants can look forward to crossing the finish line knowing they’ve made a positive impact on their community.
