Start your Thanksgiving celebration by running the Lancaster Turkey Day 5k with hundreds of your closest friends. Get your body moving with this Thanksgiving morning tradition, fire up your metabolism for the upcoming feasts, and help support the Foundation Dinners as they continue to serve the community on Lancaster's west side, a tradition they have faithfully maintained for over 30 years.  Ages 13 and under race free (unless they want a shirt and a bib).

The Foundation Dinners serves over 2500 meals a month enlisting the aid of over 200 volunteers from Lancaster and Fairfield County churches, organizations, businesses and industries. Foundation Dinners provides an opportunity for these volunteers to contribute to the needs of many poverty-stricken families and individuals in our community, as well as becoming part of the broadcast system which informs the local area of the presence of hunger and homelessness amongst us
