The 40th Annual Great Turkey 5K Run & Gobbler Walk
The 40th annual family event in Bowling Green, Kentucky, features a 3K walk and a 5K run with Thanksgiving themed door prizes and awards. The event functions as the sole fundraiser for the Bowling Green Running Club's High School Athletics Program.
Distances offered:
- 5K Great Turkey 5K Run
- 3K Gobbler Walk
High schools in Allen, Barren, Butler, Edmonson, Logan, Metcalfe, Ohio, Simpson, and Warren counties are eligible to apply for financial assistance through the Bowling Green Running Club. The club aims to help programs that lack funds to outfit track and cross country teams with uniforms and equipment.
Club officers and board members review applications and will award as many schools as possible with the funds generated from the annual event. Because of participant volume and separate start and finish locations, the 5K uses a gun start and a chip finish. Participants are strongly encouraged to pick up their bib chip during early packet pickup to avoid long lines on the morning of the event.
