## About

A chip-timed 5K on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, organized by the Friends of Middies Athletics to support Dracut High School athletes. The organizers describe it as fun for runners, walkers and families of all ages and abilities, and children from kindergarten to age 10 register in their own youth division at a lower fee, so families can walk it together with younger kids. Registration and bib pickup open at 8 am at Englesby Elementary School, where parking and restrooms are available; the race starts promptly at 9 am and awards follow right after. The first 100 pre-registered runners receive a t-shirt.
