About
The Thanksgiving Day Race to Be Thankful is a holiday morning run centered at TQL Stadium. It features a Western & Southern 10K and a Chick-fil-A 5K, both commencing at 9 AM. Additionally, younger participants have a 1/4-mile Kids Fun Run starting at 8:30 AM, allowing families to incorporate it into their morning before Thanksgiving dinner.
Participants can select either the 5K "dash" or the 10K "stretch." Children begin at the same starting line as the main races and are awarded medals following their brief run. Packet pickup occurs at TQL Stadium prior to race day, with complimentary parking available in the East Garage. The event concludes with a post-race gathering on the stadium field, supported by sponsors including Pella, Alpine Valley Water, and PepsiCo.
