About this adventure

Celebrating over 35 years of holiday road racing, the BCRR Thanksgiving Day race at Summit Square in Langhorne is Bucks County's largest Thanksgiving morning tradition. More than 1,500 runners, joggers, costumed turkeys, and enthusiastic families line up along Route 413 before gathering around the turkey feast. The event provides flexible distance options for every family member, including a scenic 5-mile loop through Middletown Township toward Core Creek Park, a flat 5K course, and a festive 1-Mile Fun Run ideal for elementary school kids and parents with jogging strollers. Runners are encouraged to bring non-perishable canned food goods to support local Bucks County emergency food pantries.
