The Gobble Gobble Kids Dash is a .35 mile fun run for ages 3-12 around Court Square in downtown Harrisonburg, VA. The Kids Dash features all the excitement of the Rocktown 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 Newman Ave. and Main St.), so parents can cheer on their kids and still participate in the Turkey Trot. After sprinting around Court Square, the kids finish back at Newman Ave. and 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 Rocktown Turkey Trot begins at 8:30am.
