Do you run or do you walk?

Some people sign up for a 5K or a 10K RUN without properly preparing. On raceday they might end up walking on the run course after they find they cannot run the whole distance. (having to walk on occasion during your run is fine!, don't let that stop you) Just pick the correct event for your capabilities. Also note that walkers have their very own and very scenic course along the waterfront! Thank you for this courtesy.

Results will be posted - No on site award ceremony

We have found the over 90% of participants head out to their Thanksgiving celebration directly after finishing the run/walk. Therefore, this year we will post the results by the Monday after Thanksgiving at www.onyourmarkevents.com Award winners can later pick their award up at Fleet Feet, Stockton or, if you do not live in the Stockton area, we can mail them to you! Thanks!
