The annual event, now in its 25th year, includes a 5K run for adults as well as a free kids’ Mini Trot, so the whole family can participate. The Mini Trot starts at 8:40 a.m.
There will be special commemorative medals for all participants and finisher prizes for the Mini-Trot as well as medals for the top three place finishers for each age division in the 5K race.
Over 3,000 runners participate in the Turkey Trot each year.
