We Are Sold Out
For the 5th consecutive year, you all have made this race a sell out. Thank you! For that reason, we will not accept any on-site registrations. Please do not bring that friend or relative who didn’t register in time, thinking we will put them in the race. We will not.
Transfers
We are accepting online transfers of registrations until Monday. Please note this process can take time so we encourage anyone wishing to transfer their entry to another person, to do it as soon as possible.
To do so, please click HERE and select Transfer on the right side of the page.
Race Start
The race will start at 9:00 AM SHARP at Weldon Outdoor Gymnasium. Look for the inflatable arch just west of the gym.
We will be starting on the highway side of the arch, not on the gym side.
Parking
There is dedicated race parking at the Bethea Welcome Center, Center for Evangelism, York Dining Commons and the swimming pool on Melody Lane. There is no parking at Weldon Gym.
For GPS, use the address 91 North Lakeshore Drive, Lake Junaluska.
PARKING MAP
Bibs
Your race packet includes your race bib, which has a timing chip on the back. Your bib must be worn on your front and be visible when you start and finish the race. Your clock starts once you cross the timing pad at the start line and ends when you cross it at the finish.
Course
The course will take you on a clock-wise course around Lake Junaluska. All key intersections will have some combination of green on white direction signs and a volunteer pointing you in the correct direction. Our directions are simple: If someone or something doesn’t tell you to turn, don’t turn.
We ask all walkers stay to sidewalks whenever possible.
There will be a water station near the halfway point of the course.
There may be other walkers and runners on the roads and paths so please be courteous to others who may be enjoying the holiday morning.

Shirts
For those that registered by November 4, we ordered the size you gave us during registration. Because the race is sold out we will not be able to exchange sizes at packet pickup but may be able to a exchange shirt or provide one for those that didn’t register in time after the race from those that did not pick up.
Post Race
After you finish, we will have bottled water, bananas and light snacks for you.
We will conduct the awards ceremony at approximately 10:00 AM at Weldon Gym. If you cannot stay for the awards, please have someone pick up yours as they are fragile and won’t be mailed.
Turkey Tom will be there after the race for photos with you and/your family. A donation of $5 is suggested with all proceeds going to the race beneficiaries. Cash and cards accepted.
Results
Live results will be available during the race HERE. There will also be a QR code on your bib label you can scan to access them.
Official results will be posted to the Event Site later that day.
We look forward to seeing you on Thursday. Have a great race and Happy Thanksgiving!
