Turkey Trot, Tiny Tots Concert To Help Madison High School Band

VIENNA, VA — The Madison High School Marching Ensemble will be headed to the Bands of America Grand National Championship on Nov. 14-16, but residents can continue to support the band with two fundraisers afterward. The Vienna Turkey Trot will be held on Sunday, Nov. 24, while the Tiny Tots concert dates are on Dec. 5-6.

The annual Vienna Turkey Trot benefits the band and Vienna Volunteer Fire Department. This year, it's scheduled before Thanksgiving with the holiday falling in the last week of November. The event features a kids' fun run at 8 a.m. and 10K and 5K at 8:30 a.m. starting and ending at the Vienna Volunteer Fire Department, 400 Center Street South. Once the race is over, participants can enjoy music, prizes and refreshments at the Finish Line Festival. Overall winners of the 5K and 10K will receive a certificate for a turkey from Whole Foods.
