Event Description

The 7th Annual Turkey Trot Fun Run sponsored by Everbody's Fun & Fitness Center is a great way to start your Thanksgiving festivities. This year you have the option of a 1-mile or 5k distance, The course consists of residential streets within the downtown area of Tell City, Indiana and for the 5k runners you will be on the banks of the Ohio River for a little over half a mile. There is one short, steep, hill at the 1.5 mile mark that catches new runners to the 5k event off guard!! Other than the one hill the course in fairly flat.

There is no better way to start your Thanksgiving Day than to record the parades on TV, put aside the dinner preparations for an hour, and burn some calories before settling in for a day of football, food and being with friends and relatives!

This is an event the whole family can do!! Dogs and strollers are always welcome at this race!!
