About the Event

Due to Governor Reynolds latest proclamation, the 9th annual FAM Turkey Trot will be happening on your own and virtually. An email went out on 11/18/20 at 12:50pm with details of what this changes and what it does not change. Packet pick up will still take place on the 25th and you are invited to run at Raccoon River on Thanksgiving on your own. Perhaps we’ll see you there!

The FAM Turkey Trot is a family friendly way to kick off your Thanksgiving, whether you're a competitive runner or want to bring your “flock” to join you and walk. Teams are encouraged in memory of a loved one, so that you can raise funds in their honor. Supporting the SHINE program at Blank Children’s Hospital, you’ll join fellow runners, joggers, and walkers in a fun morning and earn your turkey dinner. We can’t anticipate the weather, but we can guarantee a tradition for years to come!

A Raffle will also take place with tickets going on sale November 7th through race day. You do not need to be present to win. Click here or visit our Facebook page to see a list of raffle items and enter for a chance to win.
