Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: If I decide not to race after registering, can I get a refund?
A: There are no refunds. 100% of your registration fee will be used to continue the food work through the United Way's Hunger Coalition, an initiative of United Way.
Q: Can I bring my dog?
A: Yes! Your furry friends are welcome to trot with us! We just ask that you clean up after them, keep them on a leash, and line up towards the back of the start line so no doggos get spooked at the race start. Additionally, all dogs must stay outside. No dogs allowed in The Grand Theater.
Q: Are strollers allowed?
A: Absolutely! We welcome all age levels of Turkey Trotters! If your child is under 8 years old and not expecting a t-shirt, you do not need to register them. However, if you would like your child to have a race bib and t-shirt, registration is required.
Q: Can someone pick up my race packet for me?
A: Yes! You can send someone to pick up your packet for you if you won't be available during the packet pickup times. This allows for less lines the morning of the race, helping us make sure everyone can start on time.
Q: Will you be playing Christmas music the morning of the race again?
A: Yes. There was never another option.
