Help Father Joe serve more than 1.7 million meals this year by enjoying a beautiful morning walk or run through Balboa Park at Father Joe's Thanksgiving 5K Run/Walk! Post-race fun takes place at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion with the blues sounds of a San Diego favorite, the Bill Magee Blues Band. The festivities also include pie samples and sales, a free beer garden, and Father Joe Carroll signing his bobble head collectibles. The delicious pies will be baked freshly by students in the Culinary Arts Program at St. Vincent de Paul Village and proceeds will help support their great cause! All participants will receive a long sleeve, event T-shirt and a free continental breakfast. Wheelchairs and baby strollers are welcome. Leashed pets are also welcome to participate and each dog in attendance will receive a free bandana. Come celebrate the holiday of giving thanks by helping those in need and burn some calories before your big feast!
