Event Description:
It's time for the 21st annual Return of the Turkey Trot! As in years past, the 8K Run and 4K Family Fun Run/Walk will both start and finish at Marion High School. The race officially starts at 9 AM on Saturday, November 16th, 2013. We offer chip timing for those tracking their speed during the 8K race. At the same time we enjoy some silliness as many folks come in their Thanksgiving-themed costumes, and our Turkey Trot Turkey leads the pack to the starting line.
The traditional pancake breakfast will be served at Marion High School for both runners and spectators alike from 7 AM to 11 AM on race day. Runners/walkers are admitted for free with their race number and non-race participants are admitted to the breakfast for $5.
To register, please click here. Registration fees are $18 until 11/3 and then increase to $25 on 11/4. The registration fee includes the ever-popular Turkey Trot T-Shirt and admission to the pancake breakfast. If you do not want a T-Shirt, you can register for only $10!
