At 8 am on Thursday, November 27, runners and walkers, adults and kids alike, will step off in Bedford’s 8th annual Turkey Trot, a 5k Fun Run and 2-mile Fun Walk that benefits the Bedford Community Table and Food Pantry (www.bedfordfoodpantry.org).
The Turkey Trot offers an on-line registration option this year, and an incentive to register early: The first 150 participants will receive a Turkey Trot t-shirt, compliments of race sponsor Bedford Florists. Race organizer Rich Hamilton reported recently that more than 60 runners/walkers have already registered.
Online Registration
Online Registration is open thru November 10. The donation for online registrations before November 10 is $25, and the donation for registration on race day climbs to $30 per person. Pre-registered participants can pick up their race bib/runner number and t-shirt (if they are among the first 150 registrants) from 3 to 8 pm on Wednesday, November 26.
