Historical Context
Two weeks before Thanksgiving in 2011, we decided to give back to all the participants who raced with us over the course of the year. Thanksgiving morning seemed to be the perfect time, and giving them a FREE race would be the perfect way to say thanks. We’re continuing that tradition.
Special Note
BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR...THE Early Bird Race. Everything will be the same as Thanksgiving Day, but we’re letting you race on Saturday November 21st in Marietta/Kennesaw, if you want to. THAT’S THIS RACE YOU ARE ABOUT TO REGISTER FOR!
