START/FINISH LINE NOW IN DOWNTOWN OSSEO
Get ready to kick off your Thanksgiving Day with a little exercise for a great cause!
Join us for the Osseo Turkey Trot—now with a new start & finish in downtown Osseo, but offering the same great race you know and love. Choose between a 2.5 or 5 mile loop —this fun-filled event is the perfect way to earn that extra slice of pie and connect with the community.
Whether you're a seasoned runner or looking for a fun family activity, this event is for you. This year's donation will go directly to the Osseo-Junior Baseball & Softball Organization to put towards the renovations at the Stoddard Park Softball Field.
Lace up your running shoes, bring your family and friends, and start a new Thanksgiving tradition with us. Together, we can make a difference and have a blast while doing it!
Osseo Turkey Trot
Championing Our Fields
Like We Champion Our Athletes!
The City of Osseo, Osseo-Fairchild School District, and the Osseo Junior Baseball & Softball Organization have teamed up to give Stoddard Softball Field a well-deserved upgrade.
Keeping our facilities modern, safe, and up to standards is crucial for our city, our schools, and the youth athletes who pour their hearts onto the diamond every season. Our kids work hard—and keeping their "playground" in championship shape ensures they have the best environment to play, grow, and shine!
The Osseo Turkey Trot is thrilled to help with this project and support our community. We Trot, We Play Ball! 🦃 ⚾
