12th Annual Viking Turkey Trot 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run

Join us for a fun-filled morning that brings together people of all ages - students, families, faculty, alumni, and friends - to celebrate the St. Anne-Pacelli Catholic School community and kick off the Thanksgiving season.

Best of all, every step supports St. Anne-Pacelli student-athletes! Proceeds benefit the Vikings Booster Club and the school’s athletic programs, with special support for the Cross Country and Soccer teams who proudly help lead this annual tradition.
