The 1K is a fun run so just that... FUN! The 5K is a professionally timed event with awards for overall male and female, masters male and female, as well as age group awards! Even better, there is an award for the best Thanksgiving related costume! So dress your best and strut your Poultry In Motion Stuff!
Shirts are ordered on November 30th; you must be registered by then to be guaranteed your shirt and size. Yes, we order extras, but they will be distributed based on date and time of registration.... this is good news - you don't have to run fast, you just have to register fast!
Race Day Registration will be available but does come with an "inconvenience fee"...save $5 by registering prior to race day and use it for some cranberry sauce!
On that note, finisher medals take 6 weeks to make so they will be distributed to the first 1000 registrants; if those people do not show up on race day, they will be distributed based on your date of registration.
