2025 Open Door Café Stuffed Strut 5k

Run, walk, or roll so others can eat! Join the 14th annual Stuffed Strut and give some of your Thanksgiving day to help fight hunger. Runners, walkers, and para-athletes join and raise funds in the fight against hunger. Kids under 10 may run, walk, bike, skate, or scoot the 1-mile fun run.

The 2024 Stuffed Strut begins at 8 a.m. Thanksgiving morning in downtown Wytheville at the Open Door Café. The route is a relatively flat, paved course around downtown Wytheville. November mornings in our climate zone can be frigid. Please dress accordingly. Parking is available along the street, across Main Street at First Christian Church, and at Curves on the corner of 12th and West Main Streets. On-site registration opens at 6:45 am. We will serve warm refreshments immediately after the run's conclusion, in time to get everyone home for a big Thanksgiving lunch. First, second, and third-place finishers in several age and mobility categories will receive custom medals. All registrants receive a race-day shirt (while supplies last)

Everyone Eats Wythe Us! All proceeds benefit the Open Door Café, Southwest Virginia's first nonprofit community café.
