Thanksgiving XC Classic 5K

The Thanksgiving XC Classic is a festive running event held at Reid Park in Tucson, Arizona, featuring a 5K race and a 1.5-mile fun run/walk. The 5K course offers a European-style cross-country experience with two loops over grass, dirt, and some asphalt, including hay bale obstacles with bypass lanes. The fun run covers one loop of the course.

The event welcomes strollers but prohibits dogs for safety. It is part of The Running Shop SAR Grand Prix series and benefits local charities like Team Hoyt Arizona and Toys for Tots. Participants receive quality cotton shirts, and awards include running shoes and Thanksgiving-themed prizes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
