Begin your Thanksgiving celebration with a great race while helping a great cause. The Thanksgiving Day Classic features a 10 Mile, 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run starting and finishing at the Peoria Sports Complex, 16101 North 83rd Avenue in Peoria. Proceeds from the race benefit PLAY Peoria.

In 2005-2008, the generosity of runners, the Peoria Diamond Club, and the Arizona Road Racers raised almost $16,000 for the West Valley Child Crisis Center. In 2009 and 2010, $12,000 was raised for the Peoria Pantry, and in 2011 $6,000 was raised for PLAY Peoria. Total donations from 2005 to today is nearly $34,000.
