MOUNT VERNON — The 13th Annual Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk will take place on Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 23, on the campus of Mount Vernon Nazarene University. WeRunMV will be hosting this event. This event is free—instead of charging for participation, monetary and non-perishable food donations will be collected for Food For The Hungry of Knox County.
For every $1.00 raised, community partner agencies can purchase $4.89 worth of food from the Mid-Ohio Food Collective (formally the Mid-Ohio Food Bank).
Registration will begin at 8 AM. and the race will start at 9 AM. Please gather at least five minutes prior to the start time. Participants can use the R.R. Hodges Chapel/Auditorium on the Mount Vernon Nazarene Campus for parking. The race will begin and end at the entrance of the Chapel. Restrooms and the Chapel foyer will be open to the public.
The Turkey Trot is designed for runners and walkers of all ages. This family fun event is an exciting start to your Thanksgiving Day. This event is open to everyone and canines are welcome!
