Race Information
Join Trivium Racing for their Thanksgiving weekend tradition! Relax on Thanksgiving and hit the trails for your holiday race on Black Friday with a half marathon or 7.5 miler. Join them on the beautiful, well-groomed trails of Proud Lake State Recreation Area and leave the crowds to the mall! One of the best parts about The Black Toenail Friday Half and 7.5 mile race is that you can sleep in. With a late morning start time, you can relax and enjoy Thanksgiving knowing you have plenty of time before the starting gun goes off. The half marathon will be a two loop course, while the 7.5 mile will just complete one of those laps. This event usually sells out, so do not wait until the last minute to sign up!
