Question 3

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE VARIOUS 5K RACES?

Accepted Answer

All three 5K races follow the same scenic course—the only difference is the start time and the overall pace of the participants.
🏃 8:30 AM 5KOur earliest 5K tends to attract the most competitive runners. If you're chasing a personal record, racing a friend, or simply enjoy a faster-paced field, this is likely the best fit.
🏃‍♀️ 9:30 AM 5KA great mix of runners and walkers. Whether you're jogging with friends, running at your own pace, or looking for a little less intensity than the first wave, this is a popular choice.
🚶 10:00 AM 5K Family Walk/RunNEW THIS YEAR: Our most relaxed and family-friendly option! Walkers, families, participants with strollers, and anyone looking to enjoy a leisurely Thanksgiving morning are encouraged to choose this start time.
A few helpful tips:No matter which race you choose, please line up according to your expected pace. Faster runners should line up near the front of the corral, while walkers and those taking a more leisurely pace should start toward the back.
Each 5K utilizes wave starts to safely move thousands of participants across the starting line. Your official chip time doesn't begin until you cross the start line, so there's no advantage to crowding toward the front if you're not planning to run at a faster pace.
