We truly appreciate your understanding and patience as we work through the postponement of the Turkey Trot. Below are a few important updates:

• Race Bibs: Please save your race bib for the new race date. If you did not receive a bib, it was removed from your packet once the postponement was announced and will be held for you.

We are excited to announce MARCH 28, 2026, will be our rescheduled race date. More details to come on the in-person and virtual race options.
