Who is Serenata Orchestra?
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit community orchestra with a mission to enrich the lives of our members and audiences while inspiring a lifelong passion for music. We proudly offer four engaging, lively, and family-friendly concerts each year—completely free of charge—to the citizens of the Treasure Valley.
While our concerts are free to attend, producing them comes with significant costs. Expenses such as rehearsal space, concert venues, music acquisition, and other essentials add up throughout the year. To support these efforts, in 2025, we introduced our annual fundraiser, the Serenata Shuffle, which is a 5-kilometer and 1-mile run/walk event.
Join us for the Serenata Shuffle or donate to help us continue bringing free, inspiring concerts to our community. Thank you for your support!

Based on a cartoon by Idaho's own Steve Moore, you begin and end at the same time - the start and finish line are one in the same. This event will feature all of the trappings of a marathon, only without the running. You will receive a bib number, have water cups handed to you as you cross the finish line, and be treated with fresh fruit and massages when you finish - just like the big marathons. After the race is over (which is right away), you will be entertained by professional cartoonists, music, food trucks and refreshments...and even award presentations (you will be getting a first place ribbon so make sure you get your picture on the winner's stand!). This is a family friendly event, and all proceeds go to veterans being supported by the Wyakin Foundation (www.wyakin.org).
Virtual event: Can't make it to Boise to celebrate with us? Sign up for our virtual event and we'll mail you a tee shirt and your blue ribbon!
Donations are welcome! Volunteers are welcome too - you can sign up here! Want to be a sponsor? Click here!

Welcome to the annual Turkey Day 5k in Boise, Idaho’s favorite Thanksgiving Day tradition.
Turkey Day 5K is a whole family fun run designed to kick off your day with fun, energy, and community. Bring the whole "Flock" and run or walk together on Thanksgiving morning!
2025 marks the 14th year that the event benefits both the Boise Rescue Mission and Camp Rainbow Gold. As Boise continues to grow, so does the need for the services these organizations provide. Just by showing up you are already helping us contribute to these great organizations – but you can do more: bring extra canned food, make a donation directly to these groups, or better yet, donate a few hours of your time volunteering with them and you’ll both be rewarded.
Thank you again for joining us in 2025 and Happy Thanksgiving!
Please consider volunteering too!
If you cannot race this year, then please join us as a volunteer. Even if you are racing, consider one of the pre-race day volunteer positions for the Boise or Caldwell events or even both.

The YMCA Thanksgiving Leftovers Fun Run!
As part of our race community, you know how special race day gear can be! So here's a fun new twist!
We have some awesome leftover swag from past events, and we’re giving you the chance to snag a cool hat, shirt, or even a medal from previous races. If you missed out before (or just want another favorite), now’s your chance!
So gather your family or friends, lace up those sneakers, and come out for a festive 1 Mile or 5K that lets you earn that second slice of pumpkin pie the fun way.
Whether you’re a speedy sprinter, a casual stroller, or just in it for the fun swag, this race is all about laughter, community, and working off (or making room for) those holiday leftovers.
Pie first. Run later.
