The 40th Annual Great Turkey 5K Run & Gobbler Walk

The 40th annual family event includes a 3K Walk (7:30 am start) and 5K Run (8:00 am start) with Thanksgiving themed door prizes and awards, and it is the sole fundraiser for the Bowling Green Running Club's High School Athletics Program.

Any high schools in the following counties are eligible to apply for financial assistance through the Bowling Green Running Club:

Allen, Barren, Butler, Edmonson, Logan, Metcalfe, Ohio, Simpson, and Warren.

BGRC hopes to aid programs that don't have enough funds to adequately outfit their Track / Cross Country clubs with items such as uniforms and equipment needs. The BGRC officers and board members will review all applications and award as many as possible with the available funds generated from the annual Great Turkey 5K.

Due to participant volume and separate start / finish locations, the 5K event is a gun start / chip finish event. It is strongly recommended that 5K participants pick up their bib chip during the early packet pickup to avoid long lines the morning of the event.

ONLY Registered Runners and Walkers allowed on the course.
