The Town of Fountain Hills Community Services/Recreation Department is hosting the 28th Annual Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day tomorrow, Nov. 22.

Trot with competitors from across the country on Thanksgiving morning for the annual 5K run or 1-mile fitness walk.

Runners registered for the event can pick up the participant race packet today, Wednesday, Nov. 21, in the lobby of the Community Center, 13001 La Montana Dr., from 4 to 7 p.m. This is the time to get a shirt, runners bib and other race info. Grabbing these items early is recommended to minimize prerace activity on Turkey Trot morning. Runners who can’t make it for the advanced packet pick-up should plan to grab a bib and shirt between 5:15 and 6:30 a.m. on race day.

The 5K and 1-mile fitness walk will begin promptly at 7:15 a.m.

The event is open to strollers and baby joggers. However, please leave your pets at home.

The new route for the race will start and end on the Avenue of the Fountains.

Parking will be available at the Library and Community Center parking lots. Additional parking will be on surrounding surface streets including Parkview Avenue, Verde River Drive, and Gunsight Drive. Following the race, exiting from the lot will be intermittent as the Thanksgiving Parade begins at 9 a.m.
