The Experience

The event kicks off with the Kids Fun Run at 9:00am followed by the Half Marathon, 10k and 5k races at 9:15am.   Participants will receive their choice of one of the many following items: a turkey hat or elf hat or santa hat (approximately 20 different hat options to choose from during packet pickup) or tutu (multiple colors to choose from) or long sleeve shirt (3 different print designs to choose from on a first come, first serve basis at packet pickup) or an upgraded "Burning Thighs Before Pies" hooded sweatshirt. Every registrant will also receive a custom race bib, finishers medal, a sweet treat in the form of a personal pie, donut and/or cookie, chip timed race, instant results, snacks, refreshments AND MORE!! If you choose a hat or tutu as your giveaway item you'll pick your style and/or color during packet pickup. If you want more than one giveaway item you can purchase additional items during the online registration process.   Race Start Times: The Kids Fun Run will start first at 9:00am followed by the Half, 10k and 5k. Kids Fun Run – 9:00am Half Marathon, 10k & 5k - 9:15am   FAQ: This run will be chip timed and it is very important that you visibly wear your bib on the front of your chest/body when crossing the start and finish line to ensure an accurate race time. We do allow strollers at this event. We LOVE dogs but unfortunately due to the size of this race we cannot allow dogs on course. However, dogs are 100% welcome to hang out at the start/finish line and give you tons of love once you cross the finish line! Anyone who wants to start the race after the main group has begun the run is more than welcome to and your time will still be accurate. Headphones/iPod/mp3 devices are allowed, though are strongly not recommended. It is the participant’s responsibility to make sure that they do not impair their ability to hear and detect present or potential hazards and dangers as well as verbal instructions from course marshals. If at any time you or someone else on course is in need of assistance throughout the run please notify a course marshal or dial 911 in case of an emergency and then please let the closest course marshal know as well. The run will start rain, snow or shine. The run could be delayed due to lightning or other dangerous conditions. The above schedule is weather-dependent.
