Get ready to celebrate 10 years of the Viking Turkey Trot! Join us on Saturday, November 9th for this spirited event benefiting St. Anne-Pacelli's Cross Country and Soccer teams. Over the past decade, the Viking Turkey Trot has become a beloved, fall event, drawing runners, walkers, students, families, and alumni together for a morning of fun!



Both the 5K course weaves through campus and along our perimeter, while our Fun Run offers a shorter, family-friendly option, perfect for little trotters or those looking to enjoy a beautiful, brisk morning and a leisurely pace. Whether you're a seasoned runner, or just here for the fun, this event always kicks off the holiday season with festive fun!



Wear your best turkey-themed, or Viking, attire, enjoy post-race treats, and help us celebrate this milestone year! Be a part of this decade-long tradition of community and support for our student-athletes!
