Picture
The Gobble Gobble Kids Dash is a 1/3 mile fun run for ages 3-12 straight down Draper St. and back in downtown Blacksburg, VA. The Kids Dash features all the excitement of the Blacksburg Turkey Trot and we'll kick it off with some music and warm-ups.  The Kids Dash starting gun sounds at 8:00am at the same location as the Turkey Trot start/finish line (intersection of Draper Rd. and W Roanoke St.), so parents can cheer on their kids and still participate in the Turkey Trot. After sprinting down Draper Rd., the kids will turn around at Clay St. and finish back at W Roanoke St. where they receive a finisher award. 

ONE parent may run with any child age 8 or younger. All kids will be cleared off the course before the Blacksburg Turkey Trot begins at 8:30am.
