#THB5K Participants Post!

We had 86 participants (AND two dogs!) in the THB5K this year! I am very happy with that number, we fell just short of the goal of 100 participants. But 86 is FABULOUS!  That’s 33 more participants than last year!

I am so proud of each and every one of you who made it a priority to get out there and get active on Thanksgiving!

I want to make a special shout out to MarathonMom28, who reported the fastest time at 19:43! Congrats!!

Here are the 5K participants in the order that they came in. Take a look at all of you!!
