It is what it is, a community Thanksgiving Turkey Trot. Don't go into this race looking to PR, crush the competition or see where you stack up in the running community. If you want to race this, you NEED to be in the first line at the very front, anywhere else and you're bound to run into dogs on leashes, walkers, joy riders, etc. The corrals are not organized at all. However, again, this race is more of a community parade. The money goes to various food pantries in the area. So for what it is, it's great. 4-stars is very generous if you're looking to run a true "race." Use Elmhurst's 4 on the 4th in July for competition.
