LLOYD CLARKE SPORTS
Gainesville's annual Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day!!
Partnership: This year we are once again partnering with Critter Creek Farm Sanctuary to host our 5k & 10k trail race on Thanksgiving Day.
About Critter Creek: Critter Creek Farm Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 non-profit that was founded in 2016 by Chris and Erin Amerman. Their driving mission is to promote compassion for farm animals through rescue and education. Critter Creek is a 210-acre farm sanctuary and wildlife preserve. Approximately 125 acres of the Critter Creek facility, with its forests and natural springs, is a dedicated wildlife preserve. The remainder is set aside for rescued farm animal residents, including pigs, donkeys, and cows.
Run for a Cause: Come out to run alongside these incredible animals and see that they are no different than the companion animals we all call friends.
