3rd Annual Pilgrim's Pride Turkey Trot 5K

Pilgrim’s Pride will be hosting its 3^rd Annual Turkey Trot 5K to raise money for the Nacogdoches County United Way Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, Nov. 22). The entire Nacogdoches community is invited to come out and start their “turkey day” off right with an invigorating 5K run/walk. Participants can work up an appetite before the parades, football and feasting begins, and all for a great cause.

The registration fee will be $30 the day of the race, and all proceeds from the race will benefit the United Way. In addition to recognition for the winners, the first 150 people who register will receive a t-shirt and prizes will also be awarded for the best Thanksgiving costume. All ages are welcome to come enjoy the fun and Live United!

The race will begin at 8:30 a.m. at the Pecan Park Pavilion on Starr Avenue. Runners are asked to arrive between 7-8:15 a.m. to pick up their race packet and to register if they haven’t already done so. The race will end back at the Pecan Park Pavilion, and all prizes and awards will be presented at 10 a.m.

For those with Active.com accounts, the Turkey Trot listing can be found by searching the site for “3rd Annual Pilgrims Turkey Trot.”

Last year’s race attracted some 130 runners and walkers from around the state.
