About the Flint Hills Turkey Trot
This is a Thanksgiving-morning event that doubles as a community fundraiser, collecting canned and non-perishable food for local food banks alongside raising money for a junior golf program. Timing is unofficial, so the atmosphere leans toward showing up and moving rather than racing the clock. All ages are out there, and bringing a food donation at the door is part of the deal.
