Sixth Annual Rock Ridge Turkey Trot 5K, Kids Fun Run and Food Drive

Event Overview

Come join the Rock Ridge community in a time honored tradition that winds thru the scenic roads surrounding our lake the Sunday before Thanksgiving. This will be our 6th year hosting the legendary race, which has brought folks in from all over the globe in years past. Bring the kids and they can participate in a short race after the 5K and collect some goodies afterwards. Even if you have plans later this day to start prepping your bird, running a few miles in the morning and helping out a local lake community can only make you feel better about yourself. Awards will be handed out to the fastest overall adult/child. Who knows there may even be an unscheduled cold plunge...
