CHS's Turkey Trot is Bigger Than Ever In Its 16th Year

The Center for Human Services will sponsor the 16th annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot on November 28th in Sedalia. This great cause needs you, so that means you've gotta get off your hind quarters and get to walking or jogging!

Since we're all about to put on some extra holiday pounds, it's time to think about how to take them OFF. Walking and running is a great way to shape up! So why not join in on a great cause to get you started? Here's the rundown. Events include the 5K and 1 Mile run/walk and the Gobbler Dash for children ages 3-9. You can show up on the day and do it there, or you can do it from wherever you may be over the holiday weekend.

This year's event features a 5K run/walk, 1 Mile run/walk, and Gobbler Dash, all starting at the County Distributing/Budweiser building on Thursday, November 28th. Lace up your sneakers and join us for a fun-filled day of fitness and community spirit. Let's trot together! The Turkey Trot raises funds to provide critical services for individuals and families affected by poverty, intellectual or developmental disabilities, or other challenges for over 10,000 people in nearly 50 Missouri counties. Not a runner? We've got you covered! At the Turkey Trot, we welcome all fitness and activity levels with running and walking options for each race.

Now here's a quick rundown of the schedule, in case you've never been. On Wednesday, November 27th from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m., you can pick up your packet if you're going to do the walk/run in person. You pick it up at County Distributing. Then on the actual day, November 28th, if you're signing up that day, registration is from 7:30 a.m. - 8:15 a.m. and then at 8:30 a.m., the Races begin.
