Mahomet gearing up for annual Turkey Trot
For many Mahomet residents, spending time with family on Thanksgiving Day is more than watching football and stuffing turkey and dressing into their faces.
These residents gather annually with their family and friends for an early morning stroll or jog through the Lake of the Woods Park to support the Mahomet Parks and Recreation Department.
The vision for the Turkey Trot has always been simple: give community members a new way to gather and give back to the community they live in.
While there are a few stopwatches located near the end of the 5K, runners are not chipped or officially timed.
The 2023 Turkey Trot is scheduled for Thanksgiving Day on November 23 at 8 a.m.
Registration for the Turkey Trot is now open both in-person at the MPRD office at 218 S Lake of the Woods Rd and online. Registrations will still be taken up to the start of the event, but late registrations will not receive a t-shirt.
