This year’s event will stick to road courses, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable run or walk for everyone!

👶 Tom’s Tiny Trot

Bring the little ones (ages 0-8) to join in the fun with Tom’s Tiny Trot! This short race around the parking lot is perfect for young runners and walkers and will take place before the main Turkey Trot, ensuring lots of cheers and excitement from the crowd. Kids must be accompanied to the start by a parent or guardian, but you don’t have to run with them on this spectator-friendly course.

🎅 Santa’s Back!

Santa will be at the event to collect your donations and spread holiday cheer. Don’t miss the chance to get a photo with him!

🐾 Bring Your Furry Friends

Yes, we love our furry running companions! However, please keep your dog on a short leash to ensure safety.

👶 Strollers Welcome

This year, strollers are welcome on all the courses, making it a great event for families with young children!

🛤️ Course Options

Choose from three fun routes that will take you through scenic areas, all on the road for a smooth and stroller-friendly experience. Please note, there will be very limited traffic control, and runners are responsible for their own safety when crossing roads. Remember – this is NOT A RACE, so feel free to take your time, enjoy the morning, and focus on fun, fellowship, and giving back to the community.

💧 Water & Refreshments

Water will be available on the courses after the run to help you rehydrate.
