About the Sachse High School Turkey Trot
This is a Thanksgiving morning race in Sachse, with a short fun run alongside the certified main course. The longer distance is officially measured, so it holds up if you are chasing a time. Age group awards go several places deep across both genders.
Proceeds from the race support the Sachse High School senior class, so the entry fees go somewhere local and specific. Expect a crowd that leans more neighborhood than racing club, out early on a holiday before the food hits.
