Race Information
Are you ready to run what is arguably the "coolest Turkey Trot" in the nation in America's top college sports town as ranked by Forbes.com
Join us for the 5th Annual Ann Arbor Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot. Location: 2375 Hubbard. North Campus Recreational Center. Enjoy a 5K run on the beautiful north campus of the University of Michigan. The streets of north campus "feel like" northern Michigan. This run will be challenging. There's hills and inclines. Please note that all athletes must be off the course by 9:30 am. You may finish on the sidewalk.
Bring the kids! Strollers are welcome.
Register early. The first 1200 adults and 100 kids will be guaranteed a great event shirt in your goodie bag. Don't miss out! We will mail shirts to those who register late and do no receive a shirt at the race.
Pets will have to stay home this year. Unfortunately the University of Michigan has requested that we do not bring any animals into the rec center. Sorry about this. You may run with them but they would not be allowed inside the building for the awards and post race fun.
Again for 2010. There will not be a gun start. We have added the start line timing for this year. Your time will start as you cross over the mat.
Chrono-Track D- Chips will be used at this event. No more turning in your timing chips. Race Services will be timing this event. Timing will be displayed immediately on one of their four monitors. Check out your time by your bib number or name. Results will be posted on www.raceservices.com and on www.goodboyevents.com immediately after the race. You can also get your results on www.raceservices.mobi on your phone.
Kevin and Steve with Fast Photo Pro will be on site to take your photo during and after the race. Pre register to be notified of when your photo will be ready to view. Don't miss this opportunity to purchase your race day photo. Search by your bib number or name. Photos will be available within a week after the event and stored on line up to 4 months after. Mount your picture along side your award. SMILE!! !
