Thanksgiving is a well known time for family but instead of staying indoors here are some events to get the family out and involved. Dr. Shane Powell of Uintah Basin Healthcare is hosting his annual free Thanksgiving 5k Run/Trot/Walk in Roosevelt. It will
start at 8am
at the Roosevelt Aquatic Center. Hot chocolate will be provided at the finish line courtesy of Uintah Basin Healthcare. For more information, call
435-725-0040
. In Vernal there is the Gobbler Thanksgiving Day 5k. This is a charity run for two local families, the Reynolds and the Northerns. Participants will meet at the USU parking lot. Registration
starts at 8am
and the race will go
from 9am-11am
. Besides the race, raffle tickets will be sold with the actual drawing on Monday. Coffee and hot chocolate will be provided by Beans and Brews with some doughnuts as well. Lastly, for those that need a meal or may not have family around, the Quarry Steakhouse and local businesses are holding a free community Thanksgiving dinner. The ‘Fill the Need’ dinner will be
from 12pm to 4pm
at the Quarry. If you would like to volunteer to help with this event, please contact Kathleen Hacking at
