About this adventure
Hosted annually by Arizona Road Racers, the Thanksgiving Day Classic at the Peoria Sports Complex is the West Valley's longest-standing Thanksgiving road race. Over 2,000 runners gather at the spring training home of the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners to tackle USATF-certified 10-Mile and 5K courses on flat, paved boulevard loops. A lighthearted 1-Mile Fun Run welcomes young children, joggers pushing strollers, and casual walkers. In keeping with a beloved multi-decade tradition, top finishers in every age group are awarded whole Thanksgiving holiday pies at the awards stage. The event also hosts an unwrapped toy drive supporting local charities through the Peoria Diamond Club.
