10K, 5K and Fun Run

White Bear Lake, MN

Most of us are extremely fortunate.  On Thanksgiving Day, we get to sit down to a nice meal, surrounded by friends and family.

With the economic hardships over the past five years, many in our community aren't so blessed.  Local food shelves try to be there, but they need our help.

Show your compassion with the Fast Before The Feast.  Before sitting down for a big Thanksgiving dinner, participate in a race whose proceeds go to help stock local food shelves for those less fortunate.

In 2011, your participation and generosity allowed us to donate over 10,000 pounds to local food shelves.  For many nearby charities, "Fast Before The Feast" is an important way for them to meet the needs of the community.

Get a free drink coupon from our friends at Caribou Coffee when you drop off a full bag of non-perishable food items!  They have also generously donated buy-one-get-one-free coupons for the first 500 race packets, and $1 off coupons for the next 500.  And they'll have muffins, coffee and hot chocolate at the race...goooo Caribou!

This event will be chip-timed by Final Time, Inc. (a division of Final Stretch), and we will have race announcements by the incomparable Jerry MacNeil.

Fast Before the Feast hosts a significantly larger drawing to give away merchandise and services to our race participants.  Drawings will be held during the race; check in with your race number after finishing to see if you’ve won (must be present to win)!
