About the Turkey Trot 5k Fun Run
The course starts and finishes outside Coach B's on University Ave, which puts you in a lively stretch of local small businesses. Costumes are part of the culture here, with prizes going to the most creative ones, so expect a crowd that showed up to be seen as much as to run.
After finishing, there are donuts, a DJ, and recovery options including a cold plunge and leg compression. The whole scene spills into the surrounding shops, which is the point of the morning as much as the run itself.
