About the 32nd Annual Thanksgiving Day Pie & Glove 5k Run/Walk

The course runs through Craig Park, starting near the pavilion on Thanksgiving morning. It is a holiday race with a costume element built in, with prizes going to the best individual and group costumes alongside the usual age group awards. The park setting keeps things accessible, and the crowd leans toward the festive side of a holiday morning outing.

Bib pickup happens the evening before at the Corning YMCA, with a second window on race morning at the park pavilion. Parking is at the middle school nearby, not at the park itself, so plan to walk a short distance to the start.

Common Questions About the 32nd Annual Thanksgiving Day Pie & Glove 5k Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the 32nd Annual Thanksgiving Day Pie & Glove 5k Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 32:15, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:04:59, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 32nd Annual Thanksgiving Day Pie & Glove 5k Run/Walk a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 569 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 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 32nd Annual Thanksgiving Day Pie & Glove 5k Run/Walk?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 16:03 while the median finisher took 32:15. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
