Locust's Second Annual-Turkey Trot 5-K!

For years, many of us have made memories at the Albemarle Turkey Trot-now it's time start our own tradition right here at home!

Join us for the Gobble Gobble 5K on Thanksgiving morning at 8:00am, starting from the Locust Town Center. This free, family-friendly run/walk follows the same fun route as the Locust Elfie 5K-perfect for runners, walkers and anyone ready to earn that extra slice of pie! In 2025 we had 387 registered participants for the event and donated over $1200 to the SCCM Community Table.

With the Elfie run just a week after, it will be a great practice run for the main event!

Bring your friends, your family and your best turkey hats-let's make this a new Locust tradition!

    The Stroller Derby is an exciting, unique, family-friendly fundraiser benefiting Gate Pregnancy Resource Center. Every dollar raised helps us continue saving lives and supporting families in our community. This event isn’t just about racing — it’s about rallying support to make a real impact!

    We’ll have food trucks, a fire safety house, and plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy. There’s truly something for all ages!

    The Stroller Derby Includes 3 Events:

    The Derby Run

    A race for runners! Participants will complete 12 laps (3 miles). Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, as well as for the participant who raises the most donations.

    The Derby Fun Walk

    Perfect for individuals and families who want to participate at a relaxed pace. The walk will last 30 minutes, and a prize will be awarded to the walker who brings in the most donations.

    The Derby Dash (Youth Event)

    A high-energy, youth team relay and obstacle race using a stroller as the “baton.” Fast-paced and fun, this event is designed especially for our young participants. A first-place trophy and a prize package will be awarded to the youth group that raises the most donations.

    Fundraising is the Heart of the Derby

    While race placement is exciting, the true goal of the Stroller Derby is to raise critical funds to support the life-saving work of Gate Pregnancy Resource Center.

    The individual or group in each category who raises the most donations will win a prize.

    Participants are strongly encouraged to seek donations from friends, family, churches, and coworkers.

    Every dollar raised directly impacts the families we serve.

    The more donations you raise, the greater the impact you make.

    Let’s race, walk, dash — and most importantly — raise funds to save lives!

    Like, totally awesome news—last year marked the radical debut of the Silo Sprint 5K, a gnarly way to celebrate the epic resurrection of the Frank Liske Park Barn! Back in 2020, a devastating fire wiped out not just the barn but also a ton of unforgettable memories. This place was the spot, a true staple of the park. But through some major dedication and hard work, the barn made its totally tubular comeback in August 2023!

    Now, we’re cranking up the tunes and inviting you all to lace up those kicks for another boss-level race! Get ready to tackle a fun and challenging course as we step into a new era—without forgetting the awesome times of the past. All participants will score a custom race shirt, bib, and a rad goodie bag to commemorate the event. And the fun doesn’t stop at the finish line—runners also get free mini golf, paddleboat access, and some chill 80s-style vibes after the race!

    After you crush the course, cool down with sno cones, playground fun, trails to explore, fishing spots, and plenty of space to just hang and enjoy the day. So grab your best neon gear, tease up that hair, and join us for an unforgettable throwback celebration! 🎉🎶🏃‍♂️💥

    PACKET PICKUP will be held on Friday, June 5, 2026 (Frank Liske Park office) 9:00 am - 4:00 pm and Saturday, June 6th (Barn) from 8:00 am - 9:00 am.

    RACE DAY REGISTRATION will be held on Saturday June 6th at the Barn.

The funds also support the Foundation's programs to support students' various life goals.
