It’s the perfect way to keep the holiday vibes rolling while giving those leftovers a little competition. Whether you’re out to burn off pie slices or just want an easy cruise by the water, this run is all about laughter, movement, and shaking off that Thanksgiving food coma.

Our courses are not closed, which means that there are often runners, walkers, and others enjoying the day along with you. Safety is must and all runners must stay on the right side (pedestrian side) of the beach path. The course never goes off the beach path.
On-course support: Courses are well marked with two water stations and restrooms along the way. Turns will be clearly marked with chalk, a sign that says runner turn, and a flag.
Bib: Please wear your race bib on the front of your shirt so we can track your time and send your pics!
Gear Check: You may leave personal items with staff at the registration tent. Please bring your own bag.
Medals: All runners earn a finishing medal. 1st place medals are given to the overall 1st male and female in each distance.
