Lander Turkey Mile
About this race
Come join us for a Thanksgiving morning fun run starting and finishing at the Lander City Park! The route is 1 mile long and will have multiple people dressed as turkeys completing the course with you. These turkeys will be running various paces (fastest being sub 6:00/mile) and the goal is to beat as many turkeys as you can! All ages and abilities are welcome to join us for the event.
