Event Description

11/20/20 - The Highland Park & Recreation Board has decided to cancel this year's live race due to an abundance of caution with the COVID-19 situation and Lake Co. currently being "red" on the governor's map.  This will now be a virtual event.  Register, run on your own between 11/24 and 11/29, and enter your time through this site.  Shirts still will be available for pickup on Wednesday, 11/25 from 2-9:45pm or subsequently at the Lincoln Community Center office through the end of December. We hope that you consider enrolling in this virtual experience to help support your Parks & Recreation Department that has facilitated 44 years of Thanksgiving Day memories (and because we have close to 1,000 shirts that still need homes!).  Full refunds are still available through Monday, 11/23, minus the processing fee.  This is done by users directly through runsignup.com.  As a loyalty bonus, everyone enrolled in the virtual event will be granted a discount on next year's race!

Registration closes on Monday, 11/23 

Fee: $20/runner, $15/walker + transaction fees

Shirt: long sleeve cotton included through sponsorship

Shirt pick-up: Lincoln Center fieldhouse on Wednesday, 11/25, 2-9:45pm 

Shirts not picked up will be available at Lincoln Center thru 12/31
