This isn’t about setting a PR — it’s about conquering the hill, seeing your neighbors, and starting your holiday with fresh air and endorphins. Whether you're racing hard or taking it easy, we promise a casual, welcoming atmosphere and some good old-fashioned Thanksgiving morning fun. But also, if you're feeling competitive, we'll be doing awards for the top three overall and winner in each age group of the 5k.
