Description
Family. Fun. Run!
2024 is year TWELVE! We are excited to return to the Village at Robinson Farm for this momentous edition of Turkey Dash. This could just be the best celebration yet!
Join us for Turkey Dash XII!
The foundation of Turkey Dash is family and friends, so we offer a 4-mile timed run/walk and a 1-mile fun run/walk on Thanksgiving morning. If you register for the 4-mile, you can run/walk the 1-mile at no additional cost! We also provide a "Family Village," with bounce houses and other activities for the kids so they are entertained waiting for Mom & Dad to run. This is also a great place to take pics, just remember to use the tag #TurkeyDashCLT
2024 TEE SHIRT
The tee for year 12 is ... retro baby!
