## Description

🦃🍂 LACE UP, GOBBLE UP & GIVE BACK! 🍂🦃

Get ready for a day full of FUN, FAMILY, FOOD & TURKEY TROTTIN’!

Join New Salem Children’s Center for our Inaugural Turkey Trot 5K & Fun Run! Bring the whole family! Dress up in your favorite Thanksgiving or turkey-themed costume, hit the course, enjoy local food vendors, snap some memories at our photo booth, and cheer on our runners as they compete for awesome prizes! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🦃

But this event is about more than just running, it’s about bringing our community together and supporting our children!
