GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The 30th annual Thanksgiving Day 5k race in downtown Grand Rapids is on, and organizers say there's still plenty of space for more people to sign up.

Registration and packet pickup begins Thursday, Nov. 24 at 6:30 a.m., and the first race kicks off at 8 a.m. 

The start and finish of the race are right outside the main entrance of Van Andel Arena at 130 W. Fulton Street. 

Runners and walkers are raising money to support Grand Rapids Public Schools students taking part in after-school athletics.
