About the ShenCo Bigfoot Turkey Trot
This is an untimed Thanksgiving morning run on paved streets through Mount Jackson, hosted by the Shenandoah County Community Center. The course is flat and easy to navigate, and costumes are part of the culture here: Bigfoot-themed getups are encouraged, and there are prizes for the most committed looks. Strollers and dogs are welcome.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at the community center, which also serves as the start and finish area. After the run, a breakfast spread is set up inside, so there is a reason to stick around once you cross the line.
