Thanksgiving Downhill Mile

🏃‍♂️ Race Overview

Sprint, run, jog, walk, or gobble-wobble down this fast point-to-point downhill mile course! This year's race is the Saturday before Thanksgiving, and will NOT be held on Thanksgiving morning! This will be a fun opportunity to lay down a fast mile time... and a great way to burn some calories and get some movement before you dig in to the turkey and mashed potatoes.

🏁 Course Details

The course will start on Northview Street and will run on neighborhood streets, finishing on Knadler Street in front of Indian Paintbrush Elementary School. This year's course features an elevation drop of 123 feet in just one mile!
