10 Annual Wild Turkey 5 Mile Run

Please join us for the 10th Annual Wild Turkey 5 Mile Run at 8 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning!

 Currently the largest road race on the North Shore, the Wild Turkey inaugural race in 2004 hosted just over 300 runners, increasing each year to over 1800 runners in 2012. We are on course to have yet another record-breaking year, with all race proceeds benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem.

 The first 1300 entries will receive a long sleeve technical Brooks running shirt, coveted by local runners as a collector’s item. We will also be honoring 21 local runners who participated in all 10 Wild Turkey races from 2004-2013.

 Join us this year by registering online at Racewire.com. You can also pick up an application at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Salem or at a local running store.

 The original lead sponsors of the Wild Turkey Run are the New England Running Company and Brooks Sporting Company. Additional top sponsors include Ernst & Young, Dunkin Donuts, Perry & Perry Attorneys at Law, Butterworth & O'Toole Inc., the McDonough Family, FootPrint Power Salem Harbor Station and B & S Fitness. Other local sponsors include Clarke Brothers Fuel, Wire4Hire, the Stephen M. O'Grady Foundation, the Boston Herald, Herzog Dental, Toomey Sports, Cape Cod Chips, Danversport Yacht Club, Dr. Pat Curtin, Salem Moose Lodge, State Representative John Keenan, Salem Trolley, East Boston Savings Bank, John J. Walsh Insurance, Kaloutas Painting, Beverly Cooperative Bank and North Shore Road Race Guide.  

 We look forward to your joining us on Thanksgiving morning, and giving members of the Boys & Girls Club something to be truly thankful for.
