Unique Format: Just you wait, because this isn't your ol' run-of-the-mill 5k. Runners have to estimate their finishing time prior to the start: we don't allow time keeping devices of any kind.
Winning Criteria: The top 5 people that come closest to their estimate win. So just because you're fast doesn't mean you'll win this one.
Event Date: The Turkey-Donut Predict Run will take place on November 23, 2024.
Location: 2201 S Shields Street, Fort Collins, CO.
🍩 Participation Details
Free Event: The race is FREE and a fundraiser for the Food Bank for Larimer County.
Donations: All are welcome to participate in the run, but you have to donate to be eligible for the raffle (which is where the real action is).
Registration: BOTH online pre-registration and race day registration are available (though pre-registration makes our lives easier).
Start Time: This year, we'll open the start line at 8:30a. You can start whenever you like, as long as you're back by 10:00a.
⏱️ Race Details
Chip Timed: The event is chip timed. We'll provide the chips. If you're a FCRC member with a Tortoise & Hare bib, no need to bring it.
Prediction Run: This is a PREDICTION run. Enter the time you think you'll run on your registration form. NO WATCHES or timepieces of any sort allowed during the run.
Community Spirit: We encourage you to rat out your fellow runners!
Raffle Participation: All who donate to the Food Bank receive a ticket for our famous raffle, where we have prize packs from many local businesses and restaurants, race entries, and much more!
🎟️ Raffle Information
Raffle Timing: The raffle starts at 10:00a SHARP, you must be present to win, and each individual donating (regardless of size of donation) gets ONE ticket.
