## Why go

Every 5K finisher gets a pumpkin pie, and the Tacoma City Marathon Association encourages Thanksgiving costumes and accessories. The 5K course is USATF certified.

## What happens

Thursday, November 26. The 5K run or walk starts at 9am from Fleet Feet Tacoma in the Proctor District, and the kids 1K starts at 10:15am. Registration includes a 5K medal or a 1K finisher's ribbon and a bib; the 5K also includes a T-shirt, and the race asks for shirt orders by November 12. Parents running with a child in the 1K don't need to register.

## Good to know

The 5K price rises on November 15 and again for November 25–26, and a small online transaction fee applies. The kids 1K is $10 for ages 12 and under. Team discounts are $5 off for four, $10 off for ten and $15 off for fifteen. Packet pickup is Wednesday, November 25, noon–6:30pm at Ruston Waterfront Market, 5101 Yacht Club Rd, or race morning from 7:30 to 8:45am at the start line. Non-perishable food donations are collected at gear check for the Northwest Tacoma Nourish Food Bank, and a portion of proceeds goes to the Humane Society of Tacoma & Pierce County.

**Next year:** Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, November 25, 2027.
