In light of the new emergency orders from the State of Michigan on outdoor restrictions due to COVID-19, we have switched the Lansing Turkey Trot to 100% virtual this year. We know this is very disappointing to all of our runners and walkers and we are very sad to have to make this decision.
Walk-up Packet Pick Up will be at the Playmakers store on Tuesday 11/24 and Wednesday 11/25 from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Look for the Playmakers windwaiver by the Playmakers community center. An email will be sent next week with further packet pickup details.
If you are unfamiliar with a virtual event here are the details:
· Run/walk 3.1 miles on your own course and record how long it took you to complete the event. We are encouraging participants to keep the tradition alive and run on Thanksgiving morning, but if another time works better for you then go for it!
· Results: There will not be awards this year. You can still enter your time to see how you finished. Enter your time HERE.
· Have Fun! Post images on social media documenting your run. Tag @michiganrunningfoundation @playmakers and hashtag #lansingturkeytrot2020
Thank you for your support this year.
