Attention all turkeys… and runners.
Western Michigan University is hosting its 47th annual Turkey Trot on Saturday, Nov. 20. A 5K race, it is open to runners, walkers and spectators of all ages.
The course winds through the university’s West Campus, with a start and finish line in the Student Recreation Center’s indoor tennis courts.
Online registration is open until 2 p.m. Nov. 18, but registration will also be available on-site from 7:15 to 8:30 a.m., and the race begins at 8:45 a.m. Cost is $15 in advance and $20 on race day.
All runners will receive a T-shirt and will be timed using chip technology provided by Great Lakes ChampionChip. Prizes will be awarded in five-year age categories for both men and women, 14 and younger, and 60 and older.
Participants are encouraged to bring canned-good donations to benefit Loaves and Fishes of Kalamazoo. Last year, more than 800 pounds of food was collected.
