Bethany Hy-Vee is preparing for the annual Turkey Trot 5K run/walk on Thanksgiving morning, Thursday, Nov. 26.
There is still time for families to sign up to participate in the event. There were nearly 100 participants in last year’s event.
Pre-registration will run through Friday, Nov. 13, and guarantees a t-shirt. Cost for registration is $12 for adults; children 12 and under $8 with a t-shirt or free without a shirt.
Pre-registration is encouraged to ensure a t-shirt.
Registration and entry numbers and t-shirts will be available at the office of Home Town Title LLC from 4 to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 25. Race-day check-in will begin at 7:45 a.m. on
Thanksgiving morning at South Harrison High School. The 5K will begin promptly at 8:30 a.m.
Hy-Vee will provide pumpkin pies for winners of all age divisions as well as breakfast for all race-day participants.
Activities for children will be provided during the adult race, and breakfast will be served after the race. The awards ceremony will begin at 9:45 a.m. so that families are free to enjoy the holiday together.
Registration forms for the race are still available at locations throughout Bethany, including the Bethany Community Gym, Hy-Vee, McCall Family Dentistry, Home Town Title and by emailing rcsmith@grm.net.
All proceeds from Turkey Trot will be dedicated to the Harrison County Food Pantry.
