Thanksgiving Day in Sacramento means it's time again for the city's Run to Feed the Hungry, which will see both a 10K run and a 5K run/walk, hopes to raise funds for the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services. As a result of its popularity—and the sheer number of participants expected—several roads in East Sacramento will be closed tomorrow morning. Sacramento City Express notes that locals should plan to add some time to their commutes if they need to travel in or out of the area during the event.
The race kicks off at 8:15 a.m. for the 10K runners and 9 a.m. for the 5K crowd, starting from J Street just west of the entrance to the Sacramento State campus. To ensure participants’ safety, the roads will remain closed to traffic until approximately noon—or until the last of the turkey trotters has crossed the finish line. Residents looking to carefully plan their Thanksgiving Day travel can consult a neighborhood exit plan map, which provides a detailed breakdown of when each area will be affected.
An array of street closures will be in effect, including: J Street from Carlson Drive to 45th Street, 45th Street to Folsom Boulevard, Folsom Boulevard to 41st Street, and several connecting roads spanning from 41st Street to 47th Street, as detailed in the list provided by the Sacramento City Express.
