5K - Free, Untimed Community Run
Stilson Parking Lot

Donations are accepted to keep the race free for the community (suggested: $5/person, $20/family).
Register so we have an idea of how many people are coming. We will have special Turkey Trot mugs available for hot beverages after the race.
Prizes for top 3 female and male finishers and Best Dressed.
The race is untimed (there will be no official results).
Faster runners start up front, slower folks/walkers toward the back. Keep your dogs on leash, please.

Course **new update!**:
The race starts and ends in Stilson Parking Lot just north of the bathrooms. Runners will start in the parking lot before hopping on the pathway. Before crossing Fish Creek, runners will cross under Highway 22 (via the tunnel) and follow the pathway to the junction with HHR Road. Runners will turn right/north on HHR Road and run along the road for a short section before hopping back onto the pathway just past Wilson Elementary School. There will be a water station at the entrance to the pathway. Runners will remain on the pathway until the the final right turn back into Stilson and to the finish line.
