Tips & Advice
- To ensure you receive a race t-shirt, register by November 14th. After this date, beanies are provided while supplies last.
- Since this is a fun run and not timed, focus on enjoying the festive atmosphere and the company of fellow participants rather than your race time.
- Arrive early on Thanksgiving morning to allow ample time for parking and to get settled before the 8:00 am start.
- Dress in layers suitable for late November weather in Michigan, as you'll be outdoors for the duration of the event.
- Consider bringing a small bag to carry any personal items, though remember that race bibs are not provided.
