Come "Move your feet before you eat” this Thanksgiving, and join one of the fastest-growing holiday traditions nationwide!! The Murray Business Lions Club is pleased to announce our 8th annual Turkey Trot 5k Run or Walk. Last year’s event had 369 runners who traveled from 14 different states to participate. Help us make 2024’s race the largest yet!!  Why? Your participation and donations help local charities right here in Calloway County.  We have previously donated to charities such as Soup for the Soul, Hope Calloway, Need Line’s Back Pack Program, and Murray Calloway County Parks & Recreation. We encourage you to donate to the cause if you cannot participate. You may donate here: https://runsignup.com/Race/Donate/KY/Murray/MBLCTurkeyDay5K

This event is open to individuals, families, corporate teams, club teams, and groups of friends. We will give away the traditional pies on the morning of the event, in addition to awards and medals. There will be awards for the largest corporate or club team, largest family team, and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for best costumes. Costumes? That’s right.  We encourage everyone to “dress up” for the occasion. Some pilgrims will likely be chasing a turkey or two around the event. We also encourage you to skip the registration line on the event day and pre-register. You may pre-register for the event at the link below.
