Wisconsin nonprofit, the Kelly Johnson Foundation, to host annual Thanksgiving event.

Brookfield, Wisconsin: Please join the Kelly Johnson Foundation (KJF) at their 5th annual Turkey Trot on Saturday, November 26th, 2022!

The Kelly Johnson Foundation (KJF) has hosted this event the past four years, raising over $7,500, while also creating family memories that last a lifetime. Proceeds from the race will help the KJF support local high schools across the Midwest that do not have enough funding for after-school athletic and extracurricular programs. It will also help the foundation grow its Johnson Family Scholarship program, which gives back to local students in need of money for college.

The 5K race is timed, with awards given out to the top male and female runners broken down by age and division, as well as the overall top male and female finisher. Pre-registered participants will receive an exclusive long sleeve moisture wicking Turkey Trot shirt prior to the race. After the race, there will be a raffle and prizes provided by sponsors and refreshments.

The Turkey Trot will begin at 8 am and will be located at Foxbrook Park, 2925 N Barker Road, Brookfield, WI 53045. The event can also be participated in virtually. Registration costs $35 for adults and $20 for youth 14 and under for anyone who pre-registers before Thursday, November 24th.
