Laurel Park Turkey Day 5K/Fun Run

Join your friends and neighbors for the 18th Annual Laurel Park Turkey Day 5k/Fun Run! This non-competitive charity event is open to everyone. Strollers and leashed dogs are welcome. 

Charities

This year's main charity is the Junior Charity League of Concord, whose mission is to improve the lives of our neighbors through active volunteerism by providing basic needs, educational programs and social services.

We'll also make a financial contribution to:

• Opportunity House, whose mission is to serve the people of Cabarrus County by providing resources to meet the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of people experiencing homelessness, addiction, or recent incarceration.
• Pet Lifeline Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the Cabarrus County Animal Shelter, its adopters, and the pets in their care. 

Additionally, we'll be collecting non-perishable items for 1Can, whose mission is is to reduce the number of children, adults & families suffering from food insecurity and to improve everyone’s understanding of food insecurity and hunger.
