The Leftovers 10K / 5K Run
The Leftovers 10K / 5K Run takes place in Tempe, Arizona, at Kiwanis Park. Held on the Saturday following Thanksgiving, the event is designed as a celebration to encourage physical activity after the holiday. The race is owned and operated by StartLine Racing and features multiple participation options:
- 10K
- 5K
- Virtual Run
This event utilizes a unique concept where all participants receive a finisher's medal and a Dri-Fit tech t-shirt or tank top from a previous StartLine event. Participants have the opportunity to trade these items with others. Additionally, a clearance sale is held on-site offering a variety of previous race shirts.
The course is open to runners, walkers, strollers, and leashed pets. The event features chip timing with real-time results and professional photos. Participants can access a pre- and post-race brunch consisting of items such as granola bars, fruit, water, and Gatorade. Age group awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers in categories ranging from 8 and under to 80 and over.
The event partners with Mom's Pantry, a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating food uncertainty. Participants are encouraged to bring nonperishable food items for donation, for which they receive a discount coupon for a future race. The event is held rain or shine at 101 West Baseline Road.
