Carson City Turkey Trot early registration deadline is Thursday
With Thanksgiving a week away, the early registration deadline for the annual Carson City Turkey Trot arrives this Thursday, Nov. 15.
The Carson City Turkey Trot is an event the entire family will enjoy. Hosted by St. Teresa Catholic School, the fitness event offers an 8K (5-mile) run, 5K (3.1 miles) run/walk, and the Gobble Wobble Kids Fun Run.
The annual holiday favorite brings hundreds to the Governor's Mansion annually, many dressing in Thanksgiving themed costumes, all with the idea that a good brisk walk or run ahead of the traditional family dinner will leave extra room for the big meal and pie.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Friends in Service Helping, also known as FISH.
The Nov. 22 event begins on Mountain Street in front of the Governor's Mansion and meanders through the west side of town.
Those who register early receive an event shirt and small swag bag of goodies. Pumpkin pies and medals for the top three finishers for male and female for 8k and 5k and pumpkin pies for top three in each age division.
The fee schedule is:
— $30 Registration on or by Thursday, Nov. 15
— $35 after Nov. 15 through Nov. 21
— $40 Same day registration
— Kids Gobble Wobble race is $15 with NO PRICE INCREASE.
Organizers are also asking participants this year to donate a ziplock bag of small personal hygiene items for the Homeless Christmas Stocking Project. Items needed can be found on the on registration website or on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/STTSTurkeyTrot/
The event begins at 8:30 a.m., and 8:45 a.m. for the Gobble Wobble.
More than 600 runners participated in 2017. Don’t miss out on what has quickly become a local tradition.
