Our annual 5k Turkey Trot takes place on Saturday, November 17 in Washington Park.

The event is aimed at all levels whether you’re a serious runner or taking part in a 5k for the first time, we’d love to have you join us. Families and dogs are welcome.

The Turkey Trot launched in 2012 and since then has raised thousands of dollars for the Springfield community. Funds raised this year will benefit Central Counties Health Centers patient and community programs. If you are unable to participate but your company would like to sponsor the event please contact Melinda Rodgers on 219-788-2310 or email mrodgers@centralcounties.org

In the past, we’ve had more than 200 runners and walkers take part and we would love for even more to cross the finish line this November.

Registration is $20 for ages 13-plus, $10 ages three to 12, and free to ages two and under. Online registration closes at 11.59 pm on Thursday, November 15.
