TRACK AND FIELD 5K.
REGISTER BY SUNDAY NOVEMBER 3rd TO RECEIVE A BRANDED TECHNICAL RACE
SHIRT ($5 FOR KIDS AND $5 FOR ADULTS).
ONLINE REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT ON THURSDAY THE 14TH.
WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
Join Durham Academy families and friends in our Durham community
for a great afternoon of exercise and family-friendly fun at our tenth
annual Turkey Trot 5k and Fun Run. Run, walk, skip – or just come have fun!
Following the 5k, registered Fun Run participants will have the opportunity to chase the
Turkey around the track to see if they can catch him. Maybe this year will be the year!
Encourage your friends to join us for the fun. In addition to the 5k and Fun Run there will be
games, music, a photo booth, activities, and food trucks. Bring cash or credit
card for a delicious snack!
The classroom or advisory in each division with the most racers will win a pizza party for
their class. Be sure to enter your Teacher/Advisor and Grade during registration.
Same day registration will be available before the race from 12:30pm - 1:30pm at the
Upper School field. Same day registration will be an additional $5 per entrant for the 5k. The
Fun Run is free! Race fees can be paid via credit card at the registration table. Participants
arriving after 1:30 can still run the race, but will not be able to get an official time chip.
