Description

 

Two weeks before Thanksgiving in 2011, we decided that we wanted to give back to all the participants who came out to race with us over the course of the year. Thanksgiving morning seemed to be the perfect time, and giving them a FREE race would be the perfect way to say, Thanks! We're continuing that tradition...If you've crossed under our finish line in any race from Dec. 1, 2023 - Nov. 13 , 2024, you've earned yourself ONE FREE 5K spot in any (1) of the live races. (Please note that running the Turkey Trot last year does not qualify for a free entry.)
If you haven't crossed under our finish line this year...that's OK too...You can still come out and join us...it's just $21, in-person or virtual.
Back for 2024
5K, 10K, 15K or Half Marathon Distances
Virtual 5K, 10K, 15K, or Half Marathon available for only $21($25 for Race Day).

For $5.00 (Non-refundable) you can have your bib mailed straight to your front door. We'll be sending them out the first two Monday’s in November, and you can sleep in a few extra minutes on race morning.  You just need to show up with enough time to get your swag then get in the start corral.  Available until 11/8.

Race Day Pickup:

We strongly recommend to come to an early packet pickup to save time on race morning and not have to wait out in the cold. 

Packet pickup will open at 6:30 AM on race morning. Be sure to arrive closer to 6:30AM AM than 8:00 AM so you have enough time to get to the Start.

Early Packet Pick Up Information

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND you come to early packet pick up; especially if you've ordered a shirt or finisher medal!  You get to sleep late race morning, and you're guaranteed to receive your swag.  If you wait until race morning, you will have to wait in line, and run the risk of not receiving your swag.
