## About

The day after Thanksgiving, the St. Johns Creek neighborhood hosts a chip-timed 5K and a 1-mile fun run or walk starting and finishing at the John's Creek Amenity Center. Kids 10 and under run free, which makes the mile an easy family outing to burn off the holiday meal. In a nod to leftovers, every finisher receives a leftover medal from a 2025 event. Packet pickup is race morning from 8 to 8:45 am, with both races at 9 am.
