Register here for this year's Leftovers Race brought to you by Epic Races and featuring our partner charity, Food Gatherers.
We’ve got a cornucopia of race swag and WE want to have fun getting it to YOU. After all, we love zero-waste races — and the best part of Thanksgiving is the leftovers. Run a 5K and claim your race leftovers!
Now is your chance to claim that awesome shirt or medal you always wanted. It could be from the Kroger A2 Turkey Trot. Or the Ann Arbor Marathon. Or the Island Lake Tri. Or any number of races we’ve held! (Yes, we’ll have all sizes available — just not in every shirt.) The fun part of the leftovers race is you don't necessarily know what you're going to get -- but like Thanksgiving leftovers, it will all be good!
Each participant will receive a 'leftover' shirt, bib and medal from our previous races! On top of that, part of your race fee will go towards Food Gatherers.

This is an increase of more than 30 percent for all individuals and 40 percent for children compared the previous year — the highest rate and number since 2014 and the largest one-year increase in food insecurity since 2008. (Greater Lansing Food Bank, 2023 Annual Report)
