About the Running of the Turkeys - West Deptford
This is a Thanksgiving morning Turkey Trot based out of the RiverWinds Community Center in West Deptford. Runners can choose the chip-timed trot distance or a shorter walk option. The course runs rain or shine, so expect to head out whatever the weather brings that morning.

The race collects non-perishable food donations for a local food bank, so consider tossing something in the car before you head over.
