Southern Oregon Turkey Trot Run

11/23/2023

Happy race day!
Few things-
Parking is going to be tight so carpool if possible. If/ when the Cummins parking lot fills up, you may park in the empty lot across from Legends or Lynn Newbry Park.
This is our biggest year to date and never expected to see numbers this high post covid again. I ask that everyone is patient and kind to all my volunteers.
Lastly, THANK YOU! Because of all of you we will get to continue to put shoes on young runners in our valley.
See you soon!
-Amber

Hello Everyone!

Many of you may be noticing that your lanyard says 2019 on your finisher medal. I did not notice the error until many of you had gotten them. We are ordering new lanyards to mail out to all of you who got a medal with the 2019 lanyard. If you could please fill out the google form, I would appreciate it.

Thank you all so much for coming out, it truly was wonderful to get to host this event in person once again.
Happy Running!
