The event is directed by Minnesota Treads staff and uses Autumn Ridge Church's large, heated indoor facility for pre- and post-event shelter. Proceeds will support Autumn Ridge Church's Big Box food program for children and families and a donation will be made to The Salvation Army. The first 300 registered participants will receive a pair of Turkey Gloves (one size fits most, $15 value). Hot chocolate, coffee, and donuts will be provided. Packet pickup is available from Minnesota Treads on Wednesday, November 26th from 14:00 to 19:00, and on Thanksgiving morning at the church from 06:30 to 07:30. The organizers note the event takes place in Minnesota on Thanksgiving morning and may be affected by weather; if the event is cancelled, registrations may be treated as donations to the benefitting charities.
