Event Description
5K:
Come & shake your tail feather with us this Thanksgiving with a fun, family-friendly 5k around BV. Runners will enjoy a mostly flat course with well-maintained trails, offering great views of the Collegiate Peaks. This is a stroller friendly course!
Family Fun Run:
Our families are welcome to cruise around the town which will take place before the 5K. All the young participants will be awarded with a special Thanksgiving prize.
Online registration will STAY OPEN to race day!
For 2023, we will have Early Bird Registration and Late Registration.
While we love to provide our runners with amazing race swag, we also must keep our cost (and yours) down by ensuring that we are not wasteful with our orders.
Race swag is not guaranteed if you register within the two week window before the event.
Register early to ensure you get the goods!
