Join the excitement at the Penton Memorial 10K Cross Country Turkey Trot on Thursday, November 28, 2024, in Elyria, Lorain! This beloved tradition is back for its 56th year, inviting runners to tackle a true 10K cross-country course that promises a fun and challenging experience. Participants will not only enjoy a fantastic race but also have the chance to earn 5-year age group awards, as well as the joy of camaraderie and positive energy that comes with this festive event.

For those looking for a lighter challenge, the 2-mile fun run is also returning in 2024, perfect for family members and friends who want to join the fun, though no awards will be given for this category. Be sure to mark your calendars, as there will be no race day registration. This Turkey Trot is the perfect way to kick off your holiday weekend, so lace up your running shoes and get ready to run over the river (and hill!) and through the woods!
