It will feature a Kid's 1K at 8:00 AM and a 5K at 8:30. The Kids 1K will be out and back from the Clubhouse, the 5K will circle a loop going east on Governor's Drive, north on Trophy and west back to Clubhouse on Governor's Drive. The 5K race will be a chipped timed race.
Each Kid will receive a medal after finishing the 1K. There will be overall female and male awards in the 5K, and age group awards: 1-19, 20-29, 30-39,40-49, 50-59, and 60-99. Results will be posted at the race site and on RunSignUp, the Kid's 1K will not be timed but the top 3 boys and girls will be acknowledged.
Each registrant will receive a fun T-shirt to commemorate their efforts and helping give back to others on Thanksgiving morning.
There will be a packet pickup Wednesday, November 26th at the clubhouse from 4:00-7:00 PM and also on race day morning from 7:00-7:50 AM.
