About the Get Roasted Turkey Trot 5K
The Get Roasted Turkey Trot runs on trails through Waverly, which gives the course a different feel from a road race on Thanksgiving morning. Expect natural terrain underfoot rather than pavement. There is also a short kids dash alongside the main event, so families tend to show up together.
Black coffee and hot chocolate are waiting at the finish, which matters more than usual when the air is cold. The race benefits a local civic organization, so the post-race crowd has a neighborhood feel to it.
