I did this race last year and may do it again this year. It was fun and there were lots of folks in costume.
The only disappointment I had was that it was not chip-timed.

Do you mean Al Lopez park?  I think we are going to do that one, too.

Finishers medals for the first 125 male and female finishers. 

HTFU and do both. Then you can have an extra helping of turkey. I got my numbers yesterday.

You'll need to be pretty quick to get one of the finishers' medals. Last year 125th place for men in the 5k was 19:52, and 42:15 for the 10k.

Get there early. Parking can be difficult, and with upwards of 5000+ people starting the 5k (and 2500 the 10k), it takes a while for the crowd to thin out; If you're looking for a decent time, you want to get to the front and line up 15-20 minutes before gun time. Definitely not a PR race,.

There's a 5K near the fishhawk area, that'll be my calorie burner for this year. 

Nothing fancy.  Also 1 miler kids' race.

No kidding. And that's with them splitting the 5k into 2 different races, competitive and fun run. When I ran it in 2006 it was still a single race mass start of approx 10,000 people. Took 2 minutes to get to the start line, and when I looked back there were more people behind me than in front.
