Pickrell, NE
The Wild Turkey Chase is a Thanksgiving morning race that starts and finishes in front of the Pickrell Tavern, right in the heart of a small town. Several distance options mean runners can go long before the holiday meal or keep it short. The course runs quiet rural roads through open country.
Pickrell sits just east of a main highway, a short drive south of Lincoln. When you finish, there are cinnamon rolls from a local donut shop at the tavern.
