Get ready to kick off your Thanksgiving with a splash of fun at the inaugural ShenCo Bigfoot Turkey Trot! Taking place on Thursday, November 27, 2025, in the charming town of Mt. Jackson, Shenandoah, this lighthearted event invites participants of all ages and paces to join in a festive 5K run/walk. The untimed race will wind through a picturesque paved course, making it perfect for families, strollers, and even friendly dogs.

Participants can look forward to an exciting morning that includes an official ShenCo Bigfoot Turkey Trot T-shirt and a delicious post-run breakfast at CREW, located at 6044 Main Street. But that’s not all—get ready for some friendly competition with fun prizes awarded for the best Bigfoot and Bigfoot Hunter costumes, as well as for the youngest and oldest participants. With a registration fee of just $35, you can start a new Thanksgiving tradition by moving your feet before you eat! Don’t forget to register online or in person at Valley Trail Bike & Run, and make sure to grab your T-shirt by the November 12 deadline. Join us for a morning filled with laughter, community spirit, and a touch of Bigfoot magic
