Come join us for a Thanksgiving morning fun run starting and finishing at the Lander City Park! The route is 1 mile long and will have multiple people dressed as turkeys completing the course with you. These turkeys will be running various paces (fastest being 6:00/mile) and the goal is to beat as many turkeys as you can! All ages and abilities are welcome to join us for the event. 

Course description:

The race will begin inside of Lander City Park on 3rd Street, near the parking lot for the Lion’s shelter. The race will run North on 3rd street, out of the park past Fremont St and will turn left on Park St. Racers will follow Park Street all the way until it joins back with Fremont Street. At that point they will turn left and return towards the park. The race will finish on Fremont Street in front of the parking on the North side of the park. 

Registration includes:

  • Finisher long sleeve t-shirt
  • Finisher medal

Due to an unanticipated number of registrants, the race will be capped at 100 runners. Thank you for your support!
