Our goal is to energize the community for good and we're always looking for fresh ways to do just that. You should know about what makes this event worth your effort on Thanksgiving morning:
  1. Pumpkin pie. In a tiny cup. Available along the Turkey Trot course. (sort of like a water station but better)
  2. The route offers a cool tour of downtown (see below) and the neighborhood surrounding it. Run/walk through the streets and breeze along a portion of the Huckleberry Trail.
  3. The Gobble Gobble Kids Dash is the perfect way for your kids to kickoff their holiday.
  4. You can run/walk/roll in the Turkey Trot then go chow down at home with your family. Earn that stuffing and mashed potatoes!
