Event Description

Why Run a Turkey Trot?

Turkey Trots are a fun and festive way to kick off the holiday season, bringing together families, friends, and communities for a healthy start to Thanksgiving. They symbolize more than just a race; they represent togetherness, gratitude, and the joy of creating shared memories. Whether you're running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, a Turkey Trot is a celebration of family time, tradition, and giving back—an opportunity to come together and enjoy the spirit of the holidays before the big feast!
