Every great tradition starts with great people. This year, we are honored to have Jay Carlucci of Dew Drop Inn as our Honorary Starter for the Commodore Hull Thanksgiving Day 5k Road Race!
Jay’s support for our community has been extraordinary — from being a steadfast supporter of our Club year after year to providing hundreds of Thanksgiving meals for our Club families. His generosity and heart truly embody the spirit of this race.
Let’s give Jay a big round of applause when he kicks off the Commodore Hull 5k this Thanksgiving morning!
Thank you to our 2025 Sponsors!
