Turkey Leg 5K
The Turkey Leg 5K is an annual community run and walk event hosted in the local park. This race invites participants of all fitness levels to enjoy an outdoor physical activity while celebrating the seasonal spirit with friends and family.
Participants will complete a measured five kilometer course that begins and ends within the park grounds. Every registered attendee receives a commemorative finisher medal upon crossing the line. In addition to the medal, each runner or walker gets a special gift as a token of appreciation for joining the event. Water stations and clear course markings will be provided throughout the route to ensure a safe and organized experience for everyone.
This event is perfect for casual walkers, competitive runners, and families looking for a festive morning activity. The atmosphere is friendly, supportive, and focused on community engagement. Whether you want to set a personal speed record or simply enjoy a morning stroll through the park, this 5K offers a great way to kick off the holiday season. Please register online to secure your spot and ensure your finisher medal and gift are reserved.
