Turkey Toss 4 Miler Road Run : Hawthorne Park, Porter, IN
The event is a four mile road run held at Hawthorne Park, 500 Ackerman Drive, Porter, IN 46304. The course is a 2 mile out-and-back route on pavement and bike trail. The route is marked with flags and arrow signs at major turns.
All participants receive a turkey hat. Timing is done using an old school method: finishers receive a numbered popsicle stick and must return that stick to a person at the community center. Packet pick-up, race day sign-ups, food, and bathrooms are located in the community center. After the run, water, snacks, coffee, and Gatorade are provided; the community center is available to warm up.
The event features a Turkey Bowling activity using a 4-pound frozen turkey. One raffle ticket is included in the goodie bag and extra tickets are available for $1. Raffle winners bowl inside the community center after the race; bowlers have two shots to knock down plastic pins and win prizes for a strike or spare.
Organizers will sell used Crazy Legs Race Series shirts and other items for $5; proceeds go to the Porter Parks Department. Registration fees are listed in price tiers, with an earlier price at $28.74 and a later price at $34.09. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
