RACE DAY INFO
WALKERS WELCOME
The CHO Airport: E-Ville 5k Turkey Trot welcomes and encourages walkers. Enjoy a beautiful scenic walk through the small town of Earlysville and one of it's runner friendly neighborhoods on Thanksgiving morning. However you must be able to complete the 3.1 miles by 9:45 AM. Please refrain from bringing any skateboards, inline or roller skates, or bicycles on the race course. Baby strollers, baby joggers and dogs ON a leash will be allowed to race from the back of the pack. If wearing headphones, please keep the volume low enough so that you can hear anyone approaching from behind.
WATER STOP & POST RACE SNACKS
A water stop will be available at approximately mile 2. Post race refreshments will be available at The Earlysville Market parking lot.
RACE TIMING & RESULTS
The 5k race will be chip timed with wave starts this year. When you register, please select the closest wave to your predicted finishing time. If you are not sure of your time because you have never run a 5k race or 3.1 miles recently, please select the slowest wave. These waves are meant to reduce the amount of people starting at one time and to seed similar runnners abilities with each other. It is the safest and fairest way to do for this race.
*Please note: All runners with baby strollers, baby joggers, or dogs ON a leash, must start in the last wave.
PARKING
Plenty of parking is available in select areas around the backside of The Earlysville Market parking lot and along the East side of Earlysville Forest Dr. Please park as directed by the parking volunteers.
