Pre-registration is $7 or five nonperishable food items and same-day registration is $10 or seven nonperishable food items. Email your registration to wallacefoodbank@gmail.com. Payment can be made via Venmo @wallacefoodbank, or find more info on Facebook.
Last year’s inaugural event attracted 40 participants, and organizers are hoping for up to 100 this year. Water, donuts, and coffee are provided. The fundraiser encourages participants to dress up in holiday-themed attire or creative costumes and to help decorate the course with chalk art along the way. Kids and leashed dogs are welcome. Awards will be given to first place in men’s, women’s, and kids’ (under 12) categories and for the best dressed costume. Registered participants will receive a Wallace Food Bank-branded cinch pack, bandanna, stickers, and coupons from local businesses. After the run/walk, participants are welcome to join the “All Community” free Thanksgiving meal hosted by the food bank at the local Wallace Elks #331.
