About the Giving Thanks for a Cure 5k

The course runs a double loop through the countryside at Honey Ridge Farms, a working farm outside of Guyton. The terrain is flat and the surroundings are open and quiet, which makes it easy to settle into a pace. After the run, there is a hot chocolate bar waiting at the finish area.

Parking is on site, and real restrooms are available, which is worth knowing if you have done enough porta-potty races. Race-morning registration is an option if you decide late.

Common Questions About the Giving Thanks for a Cure 5k

Will I finish last at the Giving Thanks for a Cure 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 41:45, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:08:58, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Giving Thanks for a Cure 5k a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (71 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Giving Thanks for a Cure 5k?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 18:25 while the median finisher took 41:45. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
