One of the major keys to running a successful road race is to have caring, supportive sponsors, and the Commodore Hull Thanksgiving Day 5K Road Race has been fortunate in rounding up just such a group. On this page you will see the 2005 sponsors who are on board to date. We will be adding additional features about our sponsors as we go along, but please let them know that you saw them here and appreciate their making this community event possible.
