Bare Bones Turkey Trot

Start your holiday off on the right foot! Join us for the 13th annual Bare Bones 5-Mile Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning alongside your family, friends, and community members. This will be the perfect start to the day without the frills of a big event.

This is a non-competitive road run with one self-service water station. No results will be recorded for this event. The 5-mile route takes runners through the Mattoon Lightworks display at Peterson Park before sunrise. All proceeds benefit the YMCA’s Membership for All scholarship fund.
