🏁 Starting Line:
The race start line is on South Street, just beyond the corner of South Street and S. Main Street in Davidson, NC.

Yes—there will be a water station located at the intersection of Pine Road and Avinger Lane to help keep you hydrated. The course loops past this spot twice, so you'll have two opportunities to grab water during your run.

Yes—porta-potties will be available on the Village Green for participant use.
While there are no restrooms along the course itself, we recommend using the facilities before the race begins to ensure a comfortable run.

Yes, leashed dogs are welcome to join the fun on the course! We love seeing our four-legged friends out there. For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, please ensure your dog is well-behaved, remains on a leash at all times, and is comfortable around crowds and other animals.
And don’t forget—festive bandanas and turkey-themed costumes are highly encouraged for pups too!

The race starts on South Street, just beyond Flatiron Kitchen and Taphouse, and finishes on Lorimer Road next to the Village Green.

Our goal is for every participant to receive a race shirt and finisher medal! Orders are placed based on registration numbers at key deadlines and past race trends, so while supplies aren’t guaranteed, we’re planning ahead to have enough for everyone.
Picking up your packet early gives you the best chance at your preferred shirt size. Medals will be awarded at the finish line to celebrate your accomplishment—and this year’s design is one of our favorites yet, featuring vibrant fall colors and a fresh new look you’ll be proud to show off!
