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, 2019 - Nov. 14, 2020 you've earned yourself a FREE 5K spot in any of the live races. (Please note that running the Turkey Trot last year does not qualify for a free entry.)
New for 2020
5K distance only for live events
Virtual 5K, 10K, 15K, or Half Marathon available for only $17.
Swag available for purchase: Awesome Shirts $15, Hoodies $20 & Finisher Cards available for just $7!
