The Annual Mayor's Thanksgiving Day Run
Founded by Kenosha's Jim Ryan in 1978, the Kenosha Running Club has become a gathering place for local runners of all ability levels-- from casual runners to avid racers and ultra-marathoners. The goal is to promote and expand running, health and fitness in the Kenosha area while contributing to the community through the support of charitable causes and volunteer oppoutunities for members.
This will be the 40th annual run that the Kenosha Running Club will host. Its primary goal is to promote a healthy and active lifestyle and to raise funds that will go to the Special Olympics, and two scholarships to Kenosha County High School students.The course runs along the Kenosha lakefront on city streets, bike paths and through parks. Mostly level, the course splits at the one-mile mark of both the 2 mile and 10k routes, with water stops at miles 2 and 4 for 10k runners. Marshalling for the 10k course ends 80 minutes after the start.
