2024 Turkey Trot Trail 5k & 10k

LLOYD CLARKE SPORTS

We are BACK with our annual Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day!!

On July 9th, an electrical fire broke out at Lloyd Clarke Sports, causing devastating damage to the structure and the products that we provided the community. Part of your race fee will help to rebuild Lloyd Clarke Sports so we can continue to provide high quality gear and service to the Gainesville Community. If you would like to donate, but don't wish to run, there is an option for that during registration.

This year we are once again partnering with Critter Creek Farm Sanctuary to host our 5k & 10k trail race on Thanksgiving Day.

Critter Creek Farm Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 non-profit that was founded in 2016 by Chris an 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.

Come out to run alongside these incredible animals and see that they are no different than the companion animals we all call friends.

The course will be 3.1 miles through the fields and forests of the sanctuary with open views of pastures as well as the twists and turns of some single track trails. The 10k runners will run the loop twice.

Packet Pick-Up - Time and Location TBD

Registration will be available the day of the race until 8:15am for $45 (no T-shirt)
