Landmark Preschool presents The Great Turkey Escape

Because one road race in Redding a year isn’t enough (and we miss you!), Landmark Preschool and the Redding Road Race organizers present:

Like the Redding Road Race, we will spoil our runners with gifts (long sleeve tech shirt, embroidered hat and more).  Unlike the Redding Road Race, the course is pretty fast.  With the only significant hill at mile 2, lasting 1/7th of a mile, and a fast downhill finish for the last .7 miles, or so, this could be your 5K PR course!

The race begins and ends on the grounds of the West Redding Fire Department (306 Umpawaug Rd) and all proceeds will benefit the units of the BSA within Redding, The West Redding Volunteer Fire Department and Landmark Preschool Education Fund.

Register early, as we only have a limited number of runner spots available and this race may sell out quickly.  If you plan on running a Thanksgiving 5K, Redding should be your destination!
