About this race
Best Leg Day Ever!
Join us for our 17th Annual Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk – it's become a local tradition! On Thursday, November 26, “Turkey Day,” we invite the whole family flock to run, walk or trot. The race also features a Youth 1 Mile Fun Run; all racers will enjoy refreshments following the race.
The first 2,000 participants to register will receive a dri-fit t-shirt and the first 2,000 finishers receive a commemorative medal.
Proceeds from the Paul Markhoff Racing with the J 5Ks benefit the Levis JCC programs and services utilized by children and families in our community.
