Thanksgiving Day Classic.

Begin your Thanksgiving celebration with a great race while helping a great cause. This event features three distances: 10 Mile, 5K, and 1 Mile Fun Run.  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!

Please note that there will be no race day signup and registration will end on November 24th at 6pm. The last day to register and receive a guaranteed t-shirt is October 31st at 11:59pm.

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.
