Five07 Turkey Day Dash

Why Dash alone when you can tackle it as a team?

When you register, consider creating a team or joining an existing one! Teams can be anything: families, friends, run clubs, sports squads, local businesses or nonprofits.

Why team up?

🎯 Motivation: Built-in accountability while you train and fundraise.

🏁 Rallying Cry: Something fun for everyone to rally around before race day.

🏆 Bragging Rights: Our registration site from Run the Day lets you create a custom team name, upload a logo, invite friends, and track your group’s progress. (A little friendly competition never hurt anyone!)

Remember, it’s more than just a run or walk—it’s a shared journey toward a healthier holiday and a stronger community. Be part of this amazing tradition!

It takes a small army of volunteers and sponsors to make the Turkey Day Dash possible.

We're recruiting businesses who would like to support our community-driven event through paid sponsorships, booth purchases and in-kind donations. The value goes beyond getting your logo in front of thousands of runners, walkers and families this fall. It includes having a stake in a beloved local tradition.

Excited to announce our first round of partners: The Five07, Acorn Newspapers, Athens Services, Ventura County Credit Union, Road Runner Sports, Cal Lutheran University, TOArts, Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin, Conejo Awards, Candu Graphics, Cappuccino Physical Therapy, Grocery Outlet Thousand Oaks and AMR/Gold Coast.

It's these businesses that make the Dash possible and help us raise thousands for charity. Want to join them? Find details on our website or email [email protected]. Sponsorships start at $500 and booths are just $250.

We’re so grateful 🙏🏼 to have Adelyn and Emelia from National Honor Society of Oak Park High School volunteering their time to staff the Tree of Life 🎄 station this afternoon . The Tree of Life is decorated with star ornaments bearing the names of loved ones who have passed away. If you’d like to add a family member or friend’s name to the Tree of Life simply stop by the station in front of the elevator between Cheesecake Factory and Nordstrom and make a small donation. Open daily through Christmas Eve! 🎅🏻 Volunteers are primarily local HS students!

You can also purchase a star here: https://donate.stripe.com/6oU9AT4gEfJI1hj3rZ9ws0e

IMPORTANT: Every name written on the Tree of Life will be read aloud at our annual Reading of the Names ceremony on 6pm Thursday, Dec. 18 on the outdoor patio of the mall food court. The program will include music, a prayer and light refreshments provided by the mall. We welcome you to join us in this meaningful tribute. 🕯️

Everywhere we looked there were more costumes, more teams, more dancing, more fun. This is what the Dash is all about!
