Before you feast on Thanksgiving lunch or dinner, lace-up your running shoes and hit the pavement! A fun course through Hillcrest and the Heights covers road, track, trails and includes other surprises along the way.

Santa will be on hand to help gather canned food donations for the Arkansas Foodbank. Last year’s event gathered over 1,000 pounds of food to feed hungry Arkansans.

And there’s one more payoff for waking up early on the holiday -- pies will be rewarded to winners of surprise categories.
