## Description

The FAM Turkey Trot has been a tradition for many families since 2012.  It is a family friendly way to kick off your Thanksgiving, whether you're a competitive runner or want walk around the lake with your family.  Teams can be set up in memory of a loved one, so that you can raise funds in their honor. Whether you are a family served by SHINE or just looking for a quick 5K to earn your Thanksgiving dinner, you’ll enjoy your morning at Raccoon River Park with other runners, joggers, and walkers. We can’t anticipate the weather, but we can guarantee a tradition for years to come!

In order to support the SHINE program at Blank Children’s Hospital, a raffle will also take place with tickets going on sale November 13th through race day. You do not need to be present to win. Visit our Facebook page to see a list of raffle items and enter for a chance to win.
