PACKET PICK UP will be on Wednesday 11/27/24 from 4 to 6 PM at Starkey Park in the Educational Center. Please take advantage of early pick up so on Thanksgiving morning all you have to do is show up and run!

All participants will be parking in the fields at the entrance of the park. The race is in the center of the park (same awesome spot as last year) with the start and finish located at the Educational Center/ Information Kiosk. Please plan to make the short walk from the fields in the front (main parking area last year) to the Educational Center.

Jogging strollers are welcome as are well behaved and leashed pets.

Gates to the park open at 6:45am Thanksgiving morning. PLEASE do not go to the gate sooner then 6:45am if you are a participant. Our vendors and volunteers need to get in and get set up. This is going to be the best local non-commercialized race you have ever participated in!
