About the MCRRC Turkey Burnoff 5 and 10-Mile Race
This is a post-Thanksgiving tradition in Gaithersburg, offering both a shorter and a longer distance option for runners who want to move after the holiday. The course character is not described in detail, but the race sits inside a member club series, so the field tends toward people who run together regularly rather than once-a-year participants.
Registration stays open through the morning of the race, and you can complete it from your phone on the way there or at the site itself. Bring a credit card if you are registering that day.
