Please join the Sandwich High School Athletics Boosters for our 1st Annual Thanksgiving Sandwich 5K on November 26th to benefit local Cape Cod and area food pantries. This 5K (3.1-mile) run and walk is a continuation of the tradition set by the “We Gather Together 5K” that has been celebrated in Sandwich for the past 14 years.
For your $20 entry fee, the first 750 registrants will receive an official Thanksgiving Sandwich 5K long-sleeved tee shirt and all will be treated to post-race refreshments. In the past, nearly 2,000 runners and walkers donated some 35,000 grocery items. This year, after a number of discussions with the Sandwich Food Pantry, we have changed the format. Instead of donating grocery items, perishable and vulnerable to the elements, the entry fee of $20 will allow us to make a substantial financial contribution to the food pantries.
Children 10 and under have the option of participating in the Lil’ Gobbler Run, a short 200-yard fun run staged from the 5K starting line at 7:45am. To participate, children are required to donate one of the following items: roll of toilet paper, bar of soap, or tooth brush. Hope you can join us in support of this worthy cause!

Hope to see you then and Happy Thanksgiving, Sandwich!
