Long sleeve lifestyle tee shirts are available for purchase: $22 for S - XL, $27 for 2XL & 3XL. Thanksgiving is the busiest running day in America, so our swag cutoff date is earlier than most events. Shirts available for purchase and medals are guaranteed until October 5th.
Packet Pick - Up will be held on Sunday November 22nd South Hill Mall (Inside in front of Dick's) from 11 AM - 6 PM.
If you wish to pick up your event swag on Thanksgiving morning there will be a $20 service fee.
Absolutely NO dogs, scooters or bicycles. Our insurance does not cover dogs, and Pierce College does not allow dogs on campus for this event. In addition, we want to protect our furry friends and your fellow runners/walkers. Thank you for your cooperation!
