## About

The Plant City Running Club's eighth annual Cinnamon Roll Run is a Thanksgiving-morning 5K that starts and finishes at Ellis Methvin Park in Plant City, with a cinnamon roll waiting for every finisher. It is a relaxed holiday tradition rather than an elite race: families with older kids and teens who can cover 3.1 miles can run or walk it together before the holiday meal, and coffee is part of the post-race fun. The race begins at 7:00 AM, so plan to arrive early to pick up bibs and park. Registration is handled online through RunSignup, where the organizers post the latest updates; the page does not describe a separate kids' fun run or age rules, so check there before signing up younger children.
