Erc Turkey Trot
About this race
Classic 5k and 10k events to celebrate the harvest. Burn calories to earn space for dinner later in the day. Put your dinner in the oven, come run or walk your race, celebrate with many of your running friends, and go home to enjoy the day. Pre-race packet pickup will be at Level Red/Fitness Now. Reminder that this is the first race of the winter series. You must volunteer or finish the Turkey Trot, NYD and St. Patrick's Day race to qualify.
Of Critical Importance:In years past, we have had a problem with folks crossing into the traffic lane to get around slower runners. This is a safety hazard and endangers the event itself. In short, if we don't cut it out, we'll lose the ability to hold the event at Presque Isle at all. If we don't fix it, we won't have it.
