Try either the 5K Turkey Trot Run/Walk or the 5M Flier
The 5K Run/Walk will find you shoulder to shoulder with fun runners and families, and those ready for a bit of exercise prior to a Thanksgiving Celebration. Toddlers in strollers are FREE and encouraged to participate. Children running or walking must register. Strollers and dogs on a leash are welcome to join but need to start from the back of the group (Dogs are not allowed on Thirlby Field and will be re-routed at the Start/Finish).
The 5M Flier creates the distance challenge but still routes through downtown and back to Thirlby Field Stadium.
