We also have a fun TURKEY DASH where kids(ages 2-9) will have turkey headbands and race a 100m before the start of the Tune Up Race. Top 3 M / F / Non-Binary will receive their choice of Starting Line Gear!
Strollers and dogs on leash are welcome to join for the run! We kindly ask that you start at the back of the pack for everyone's safety :).
