Commodore Hull Thanksgiving Day 5k Road Race

2023 Race Registration is Open!

The Commodore Hull Thanksgiving Day 5k charity road race is a live 5k race on Thanksgiving morning. The race starts at 8 am in downtown Shelton, travels into Derby, and loops back into Shelton.

This popular race offers a great, early morning run through the historic downtowns of Shelton and Derby. You’ll be finished in plenty of time for your Thanksgiving Day celebrations!

Runners are encouraged to register early because this noted and looked-for Valley event sells out very quickly. Runners’ registrations are capped at 700, and registration closes once the cap is reached. Registration increases to $35 for all runners and all age categories on November 1. Registration will close 20 minutes before the start of the race on race day.

Arrive early to enjoy the delicious refreshments available before and after the race at the spacious Derby-Shelton Rotary Club Pavilion in Veteran’s Park.

We hope you’ll join us, but don’t delay—click the registration button to secure your spot!
