Get ready for your Thanksgiving feast by running 2 or 5 miles through downtown Rochester. The race starts outside the Blue Cross Arena and ventures towards the University of Rochester campus. This out and back course is flat, fast and fun for the whole family. Prizes will be awarded to top overall winners, top masters, and top age group winners.

Order pies from Special Touch Bakery and pick them up at Medved Running and Walking Outfitters on Tuesday, November 21. Have a great pie and support an awesome cause!

Are you unable to make it to the race but still want to be part of the fun? Register for the virtual option and we'll send you a race shirt.
