* As streets will not be blocked off to traffic, please be aware of your surroundings at all times as there could be cars on the route. Stay to the left side of the road during the route and look for street chalk markings for turns and directions. We'll have volunteers at intersections to keep everyone safe.

Shirts - Shirts again will be included with race day registration but this year, there will be a hard deadline on registration to receive a shirt. The deadline is November 9th! We won't be having a reorder this year. Make sure to register early so that you'll receive a shirt! The shirt design will be available soon!

Prizes
Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 male and female finishers of the 5k and to the winners of each age group. Awards to follow the fun run. The main goal however is to have fun, get a great workout in and start Thanksgiving Day off right. We'll see you bright and early Thursday!

Giving Back
Proceeds of this year's turkey trot are going to Grace Klein Community.

Volunteers
We are still looking for volunteers to help at a couple of intersections on the course during the race. If you know anyone interested, please reach out to jay@fleetfeetbirmingham.com.
