Join us Thanksgiving morning at Indian Fields Tavern/5 Fields Brewing Co. to burn off some calories with old and new friends before your Thanksgiving feast!
Your entry fee will get you an official race time, a finisher's medal, and a finish-line beer to celebrate your accomplishment.
We're offering a 5k and a 10k. Choose your distance! All paces are welcome, and we promise we won't judge how much you're planning to eat by the distance you choose to run.
Event Details:
7:00 am - Packet Pickup starts
8:00 am - Races start
Please note that we will be releasing people 1-3 at a time, so that we don't overwhelm the Capital Trail. Your time won't start until you cross the starting mat, and it will end when you cross the mat in victory to celebrate with your well deserved race medal and post-race refreshment.
