Start out your Thanksgiving with your family by signing up for 5k race, 2 mile walk, or sign your child for the kids run. The race routes begin and end at the Green County Fairgrounds and wind through the streets of Monroe. The average American will consume upwards of 4,500 calories on Thanksgiving, so why not burn off a few, while supporting area youth.
