"The first year of the Ames Turkey Trot was a successful one! We had about 315 people start the race which was a great crowd. We loved seeing so many families coming and supporting each other. Participants offered plenty of feedback about how we can make next year even better. We are super excited for next year and for years to come." - Seth Kilborn, Race Director

Thank you to everyone who kicked off Thanksgiving with us! We're excited to announce that we will be running (and trotting!) it back again next year on November 27th for the second annual Ames Turkey Trot! It's never too early to secure your spot at the start line (and get the lowest price of the year)! 🦃
