Love, love, love this race. I don't have any cons to share, so let's get right down to all the reasons that the Wishbone 5k should be your turkey trot of choice in 2015!

+ The race management is fantastic, sent several emails with directions, and made the entire race experience one that I would do over and over again.
+ We chose not to pick up our packets the night before, which was totally fine. We got to the Fishers YMCA around 7am (for an 8am start) and had no problems getting our bibs!
+ Another perk: you get to wait inside until right before the race starts! Nice and warm!
+ I think this was part race management and part runners on the course: people actually lined up based on their anticipated pace! That meant there was no bob and weave happening, which was amazing.
+ This race is family, stroller, and pet friendly!
+ The course has a couple "hills", many of them occur in the first mile (which is a long, straight shot) and then it flattens out.
+ There is one water stop offered on the course and they give you a big glass of water (about double what you would expect on a course).
+ At the finish line, they offer a banana and water bottles. The finish line is right across the street from the start line and they had police officers out at the crosswalk assisting finishers cross the street without playing chicken in traffic.
+ Parking was easy and plentiful!
+ The shirts were long sleeve tech shirts, and they had a great design on them. No medal, but the shirts were amazing!

This is a "smaller" turkey trot in the Indianapolis area with only 700 or so participants. That was one of the many reasons that my family and I decided to run it instead of one of the bigger races where it would be more crowded / more difficult to park and etc. I would highly recommend this race! Your entry benefits the Fishers YMCA, it's managed well, and it's a fun time!
