Thanksgiving XC Classic 5K

Thanksgiving XC Classic in Tucson’s Reid Park offers a European-style cross-country experience with hay bales along a grassy, dirt-laced course that also touches a bit of asphalt. The event features a 5K that runs two loops and a 1.5-mile fun run/walk that completes one loop. The start area is near Ramada 10 at Reid Park; strollers are welcome, though the course is hilly.

The 5K is part of The Running Shop SAR Grand Prix. Participants can earn awards: overall and masters winners receive Brooks shoes; age-group trophies, pies for some, and ribbons for the fun run. Team division recognizes top times. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
