About the Event

Start your holiday off on the right foot! Join us for our annual Bare Bones 3 or 5-Mile Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning alongside your family, friends, and community members. This will be the perfect start to the day without the frills of a big event. This is a non-competitive road run with one self-service water station. No results will be recorded for this event. Both routes take runners through the Mattoon Lightworks display at Peterson Park before sunrise. All proceeds benefit the YMCA’s Membership for All scholarship fund.
