About the Butler Turkey Trot 5k Run/Walk
This Thanksgiving morning race routes through Butler and finishes at the town square. The course suits a wide range of paces, from people out for a holiday stroll to those chasing a personal best. There is a costume contest, with a pie going to whoever pulls off the best turkey look.
Registration opens on race morning before the start, so you can arrive, get checked in, and still be ready to go. The finish line is right at the square, which keeps things easy to navigate and gives spectators a central spot to wait.
