About the Event

This is a fun event for the entire family. For those who might want to run a short distance to those who want to take a Thanksgiving morning stroll to the more serious runner that wants to run somewhat of a hilly course before chowing down on Thanksgiving Dinner. Very laid back but FUN!! This is our 17th year of a fun tradition offering a 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon. We also have a 1mile FUN RUN. The 5K, 10K, Half participants will receive a nice soft quarter zip hoodie. In order to receive a special quarter zip you must sign up by NOVEMBER 16th. The participants in the FUN RUN will receive a printed long sleeve drifit shirt and a medal - everyone is a winner!! We will also be providing digital timing this year! Fast results will be posted immediately. We ask that you bring 3 can goods to bib pick up or race morning to be donated to Gainesville First United Methodist Church to share with those in need over the holidays.

Please bring at least 3 canned goods to benefit GFUMC with your registration!
