About the Event

Begin your Thanksgiving celebration with our annual Thanksgiving Day Classic races starting and ending at the Peoria Sports complex. This event features three distances: 10 Mile, 5K, and 1 Mile Fun Run. With 3 different distances, there is something for everyone in your family to enjoy!

All finishers in each event will receive a custom Finisher Medal.

Charity Support
A portion of the proceeds from the race will be donated to the Peoria Diamond Club that provide grants to many local charities including Special Olympics Arizona. To date Arizona Road Racers has donated over $72K to these charity efforts. We will also be collecting unwrapped toys for the Peoria Toy drive. These can be dropped off race day morning or at packet pickup at the various locations noted below.

Race T-Shirts
This race will feature a long-sleeve technical shirt that is included in adult registrations for the 5k and 10 miler and all 1 mile fun run participants. For the Youth entries, shirts are available for $20. Register early to ensure your size is available.

***PLEASE NOTE – There will be a 10:00 am race cut-off for the safety of participants and course workers, which equates to a 15 minute/mile pace for the 10 Mile race. Finishers after this time will not qualify for an age group award pie.***

Race registration will close on Race Day November 26th at 6:59 am and can only be done on-line through RunSignUp. There will be no paper registrations on Race Day.
