Turkey Toss 4 Miler Road Run
The Turkey Toss 4 Miler Road Run takes place on November 27, 2026 at Hawthorne Park, 500 Ackerman Drive, Porter, IN 46304.
The course is a 2 mile out and back route for a total of four miles. The route runs on pavement and a bike trail and is marked with flags and arrow signs at major turns.
Timing uses a simple finish method: finishers receive a numbered popsicle stick and must return that stick to staff at the community center. Packet pick up, race day sign ups, food, and bathrooms are located in the community center. Water, snacks, coffee, and Gatorade are provided after the race. All runners receive a turkey hat.
Organizers note cold weather and the community center is available to warm up after the event. There is a small sale of used Crazy Legs Race Series shirts and other items for five dollars each, with proceeds going to the Porter Parks Department.
The event includes a Turkey Bowling activity inside the community center using a four pound frozen turkey. Each participant receives one raffle ticket in the goodie bag and extra tickets may be purchased for one dollar. Multiple raffle winners will get a chance to roll two shots to knock down plastic pins; a strike or spare wins a prize. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
