Organiser's Description
The need for financial support in our community continues! Please join us in raising funds to support families with financial hardships due to the economic times and also the health of a sick child being treated at UVM Children's Hospital throughout these upcoming winter months. We continue to be respectful of community members choosing to participate virtually. We invite all runners and walkers to join us VIA AN IN-PERSON OR VIRTUAL 5K OR 10K on THURSDAY NOVEMBER 28, 2024 (THANKSGIVING). The in-person race will begin at 8:30AM. The finish will be in the same location. The virtual race can be done anytime on Thanksgiving Day before 8:00pm. All registration will be done virtually!
Participants are in charge of their own timing again this year, since not everyone will be in person. REMEMBER YOUR WATCHES! We welcome your finish times and photos on the website afterward; completely optional. Instructions will be sent after the race.
