Organiser's Description
Classic 5k and 10k events to celebrate the harvest. Burn calories to earn space for dinner later in the day. Put your dinner in the oven, come run or walk your race, celebrate with many of your running friends, and go home to enjoy the day. Pre-race packet pickup will be at Level Red/Fitness Now. Reminder that this is the first race of the winter series. You must volunteer or finish the Turkey Trot, NYD and St. Patrick's Day race to qualify.
OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE:
In years past, we have had a problem with folks crossing into the traffic lane to get around slower runners. This is a safety hazard and endangers the event itself. In short, if we don't cut it out, we'll lose the ability to hold the event at Presque Isle at all. If we don't fix it, we won't have it.
Check out the "Corrals" page for more information
DON'T TRY TO PARK AT BEACH 1.
The parking lots at Beach 1 will not be open for parking due to traffic problems of 10K runners leaving after the race, the shuttle busses will start at 6:30 AM. You will not be able to enter the beach 1 parking lot unless you are a volunteer at beach 1.
Race information emails will begin a few days before the race.
DON'T FORGET TO COME TO THE AFTER PARTY AT RAINBOW GARDENS
