Y Doug Opel’s Run for the Kids is an annual Thanksgiving event that brings together families, friends, and community groups for a morning of running and charitable giving. Participants can compete for group awards such as the Family Flock Award and the Gobbler Gallop Award. Proceeds from registrations support local at-risk children through the YMCA Youth Sports Program. The event offers chip timing, various race swag options, and encourages participants to share their experience on social media. Packet pick-up takes place at the Sheboygan YMCA.
