Once again, ARR is hosting our annual Thanksgiving Classic races starting and ending at the Peoria Sports Complex. With 3 different distances from 1 mile to 10 miles, there is something that everyone in your family will enjoy!

Back by popular demand, we will again be awarding pies to the top 3 finishers in every age group, for 10m and 5k at our Thanksgiving Day Classic. Pies will be awarded at the ceremony following the 5K, and from the timing station that will verify 10 mile results on an individual basis.
