RidgeRunner Club Turkey Trot Registration is Open

Registration is open for the RidgeRunners Club Turkey Trot. The 5k walk/10k run will be held Sunday, November 23, 2014.

The RidgeRunners Club Turkey Trot 10K Run and 5K Walk is a fun and community-friendly race held annually in Lake Ridge, Virginia since the mid-1980s.

The event promises an atmosphere of supportive camaraderie through competition and several race day bonuses: enjoy DJ Jeremy Whitham’s music mixes, take photos with our Turkey mascot, receive a finisher’s ribbon and a printed long-sleeve cotton shirt (for early and regular registrants ONLY), and enter our free raffle for prizes with your bib number. Vendors and sponsors will be on site to make this a day to remember!

The top three male and female finishers will receive a trophy while age group winners will receive a medal.
