About the Earn Your Stuffing Early 5K
The race starts at a downtown street corner, so the course moves through the heart of Fairfield. The theme is pre-Thanksgiving, and the mood fits: this is a short morning effort meant to justify the meal coming later in the week. The event is organized by a local youth entrepreneurship program, which gives it a grounded, small-town character.
Packet pickup runs on race morning before the start, so there is no need to come out the day before. Awards go to overall top finishers as well as age-group leaders, with a gift card and a plaque going to the grand champion.
