PARKING:
Lots of parking available downtown! We will be shutting down Elm St. between 4th and 3rd during the race for our finish line so we do not recommend parking there. The Downtown Square, 3rd St., Chestnut St., and Courthouse Parking lot, just to name a few, are all convenient to pick up and finish lines.

RUNSIGNUP PRE-REGISTERED:
We will be handing out your shirts inside 219 Elm (219 Elm St, Lumberton 28358) Follow the signs to the pre-registration shirt pickup area. We will have 5 pickup lines based on LAST name. This will hopefully keep the lines moving and get you in and out quickly. Shirt size picked at registration is the size that you will be given.
You have already signed the electronic waiver! No need to do anything else but pick up your shirt. Use all that free time to browse around 219 Elm, buy a hot chocolate, or stretch so you don't be a "turkey" and pull something.

DAY OF SIGNUPS:
You will need to go to 219 Elm (219 Elm St, Lumberton 28358) and follow the signs to the DAY OF REGISTRATION table. Waivers will need to be signed. We will have a limited number of shirts to hand out to Day Of Participants. This will be on a first come, first served, cannot guarantee sizes, basis.

COURSE AND RUN:
Attached is our 5K route and 1 mile route. The course is marked with directional signs as well as spray painted turn signs on the street. The course is very flat with one slightly downhill section near the river. Please be careful of slipping if it's wet or if there are leaves!
We will head over from 219 Elm to our starting line on Chestnut Street at 8 AM. This is a great opportunity to warm up as we walk/jog over. We will have a quick race briefing and get you trotting ASAP.

AFTER:
We will have some photo opportunities, fun snacks, and post run recovery items at the finish line. Legal Grounds at 219 Elm will still be open for drink/treat purchases and restroom facilities. We will also have several raffle giveaways! Make sure to drop your name in for chances to "Pluck the Turkey"! You could win gift cards, swag, and more!



We feel very blessed that you are choosing to spend part of your day with us! Can't have Thanksgiving without a Turkey (Trot)!
