About this race
Charlevoix Turkey Trot Fun Run hosted by Walter Wellness.
This run as a 2 mile and 5k distance, meant to get out and move your body for a good cause. There won't be an official timer, so make sure to use your apps and watches for your time.

Donuts will be waiting at the finish line for all runners, along with Walter Wellness Goodie Bags.
Money raised will go to Safe Haven Ministries for their soup kitchen program. If you feel so inclined, please bring a non-perishable item with you to the event to be donated to Charlevoix's local food bank.
