About the Judi Lively Memorial Annual Turkey Dash

This is a Thanksgiving morning race in Huron, chip-timed and open to a wide spread of age groups from young kids through seniors. It runs on a holiday, so the crowd tends to be families and people who want to move before the meal. Awards go to top finishers overall and to age division winners.

Race-day registration closes shortly before the start, so arriving with time to spare is worth it. Results post to the memorial race website after the event.

Common Questions About the Judi Lively Memorial Annual Turkey Dash

Will I finish last at the Judi Lively Memorial Annual Turkey Dash?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 35:32, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:20:09, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Judi Lively Memorial Annual Turkey Dash a good first 5K?

A field of 465 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Judi Lively Memorial Annual Turkey Dash?

The 5K winner ran 17:03 while the median finisher took 35:32. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
