Absolutely not! We celebrate and encourage whatever movement feels best to you. Walk, jog, run, skip, dance, twirl—do what you want!

9:15am: Snacks and socializing*
9:45am: Warm-up + dynamic stretch
10am: Race starts
11am(ish): Closing ceremony, more snacks and socializing*
12pm: Skedaddle on home to your turkeys
*Feel free to arrive and depart whenever is best for your schedule; we know it’s a busy day!

We’re all winners! Participants are free to track their own pace using a smartwatch or Strava, but there will be no official timekeeping.

The race follows a half-mile loop around the neighborhood. Run that six times to equal 5K. See the course page for specific details.

Every mile (two loops), you can stop at the Bubbly Station to get your champagne, NA bubbles, or regular ol’ H2O.
But we also celebrate free will (and we’re bad at math) so you can sip your bubbles whenever you’d like...we’re sure as hell not counting ;)

Furry friends are welcome to join, but we ask that you please keep them outside (unless you’re granted Special Permission™️* by our gracious hosts, Sheila and Eric).
*Special Permission™️ is incredibly rare; please tell your dog not to take it personally.

Wear comfortable shoes for running or walking and bring layers in case it’s chilly. Bring a chair if you’d like a comfy place to spectate and/or rest. If you’d like to bring bubbles of your choice, that’s cool!
