About this race
Is there a better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than starting your morning off with a 5K?
And who doesn't want to eat pie after the run?
Bring out the family, call up some old friends, and lace up those running shoes to burn calories before the big feast!
In addition to a slice of pumpkin or apple pie, participants will also receive a branded campfire coffee mug so you can enjoy a warm drink with your Thanksgiving dessert.
