Organiser's Description
THIS IS NOT A CHIP TIMED EVENT, ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RECORDING THEIR OWN TIME.
Thank you for considering Lapeer's only 5K and 5 Mile Turkey Trot. This low key 5K and 5 mile run through Lapeer, will take you through Mott Community College, behind Lapeer Lightning Stadium, looping through some scenic neighborhoods before turning on M24 for all to see, ending with a straight shot down M21 back to Mott College where the Gobblers will be waiting! . The course will be marked by a few cones with arrows, roads will remain open to traffic and participants are required to yield to traffic. You can find maps to our route in Strava format below. Finisher medals for all participants, snacks and beverages at the finish. This race will not be chip timed, there are no overall awards. We will have three random drawings for prizes from local establishments, winners will be drawn by bib numbers. Proceeds from this race will be used to give back to the community.
We are trying to create a fun event for everyone to participate in, have some fun and start their Thanksgiving day off on the right foot. This is our first year and we are hoping to grow this race where we will eventually have chip timed results in the very future. We appreciate your support!!!
