From the Organizer
Join us on Thanksgiving morning for a 3 mile fun run around Hayden Park. Strollers are welcome, though parts of the course can be difficult to navigate with larger strollers.
RACE FEE: There is a race fee this year to cover post-race snacks and to provide hot coffee for our volunteer course monitors!
RACE DAY: There will be no race bibs or packet pick-up. Just show up to the start line before the gun goes off! There will be a large timer at the finish line, so keep your eyes open when you're finishing so you can catch your time!
PRIZES: The top male and female finishers will be awarded a homemade pie.
START & FINISH: The start will be in the field to the west of the paved parking lot, the finish line will be near the fire pit just south of the track.
