GirlTrek, the largest health movement and nonprofit for Black women in the country, is bringing together thousands of families across the country this Thanksgiving weekend for the Black Family 5K.

"This week we will reunite with our families over Thanksgiving dinner. For many us, it's been years since we saw some of our loved ones. Others are seeing each other again after losing loved ones. And then there's some who are responsible for making a dish this year.
And then the next day, we will gather our families for an annual Black family tradition. GirlTrek's #BlackFamily5K. We're walking off all the food we ate on Thursday night. We'll be sharing family memories. Telling the family some big news. Together, from all over the world, Black families will walk for their health and a day of connection.
Gather your aunties, uncles, grandparents, neighbors, and friends. Back for the fifth year, GirlTrek’s Black Family 5K encourages families -- blood or chosen -- to get out in nature and take a walk. The Black Family 5K is a hallmark end-of-year celebration in the GirlTrek movement celebrating fitness, family, and fun. (The Black Family 5ks happen throughout Thanksgiving weekend. Walk anytime that is convenient for you and your family.)
We need this now more than ever. A reason to revel. To reconnect. To rejoice with our loved ones. Join us as we reclaim Black Friday and center ourselves on kinship, health, and fun rather than shopping, spending, and stress.
