Drumstick Dash LA is BACK and bigger than ever! LA’s LARGEST Thanksgiving 5K/10K run. Whether you’re chasing a PR or strolling with the whole family in costume, this is the ultimate way to kick off your holiday.

Expect high energy, epic vibes, tons of freebies, a costume contest that brings the heat, awards, and the unbeatable feeling of running for a powerful cause. Every runner scores a race T-shirt and the BIGGEST… boldest… most brag-worthy finisher medal yet!

This year’s course takes runners, joggers, and walkers straight through the vibrant NoHo Arts District, where cheering crowds line the streets and DJs keep the beats pumping from start to finish.

And the best part? Every step supports Hope the Mission in providing more than 2 MILLION hot meals to homeless men, women, and children.

Run. Celebrate. Give back. 🦃🔥
