on
Thanksgiving Day 2020
at 
Peace Valley Park!

😃THIS IS A IRL "In Real Life" EVENT!😃
(Choose your START TIME & choose to be MILD or WILD!)
(Both the WILD 5k & the MILD 5k start and end in the same location!)

💥
THE 2 MILD TURKEY 5K'S ARE SOLD OUT!
THERE ARE LESS THAN 20 SLOTS OPEN FOR THE 2 WILD TURKEY 5KS!

🏃‍♂️🦃🏃‍♀️
As you most likely know, in normal years (when there’s not a pandemic) we have our 
Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot in North Wales.
We close down the US 202 Parkway for over 2000 runners!
But this year we had to get creative…
and that’s exactly what WE DID!
😃

Introducing a BRAND NEW TURKEY TROT where YOU GET TO CHOOSE 
your start time as well as what type of course you’d like to run!

🦃Start time choices🦃
Early Turkey start is 7:45 am! 
Late Turkey start is 9:45 am!

~
🦃Course choices & details🦃
Wild Turkey 5k!
(This is a hilly 5k, one 8% 1/2 mile long hill)
or
Mild Turkey 5k!
(This is a relatively flat 5k) 

😃To see the course routes, click HERE for our race homepage😃

💥VERY IMPORTANT & TIME SENSITIVE NOTE ABOUT REGISTRATION💥

For safety reasons as park & state guidelines, we are limiting each 5k to ONLY 100 RUNNERS! This means that once 100 runners has been reached, the event will CLOSE and we simply cannot accept any new registrations. 
Seeing that we usually get over 2000 runners for our turkey trot, we strongly suggest that you register as soon as registration opens on 
💥October 17th at 8:00 am!💥

🦃PACKET PICK-UP (PPU): 
Stress-free PPU😊

When: Wednesday, November 25th from 2:30-4:30 pm
Where: Sailor’s Point, Peace Valley Park (race start/finish)
You will simply follow the signs down towards the lake, a Scoogie Events CREW member then comes to your window, asks for the name of the packets you’re picking up and you’ll be on your way.
💥PPU IS VERY STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO AVOID LINES ON RACE MORNING💥
💥
This will exponentially decrease race day lines which will help comply with COVID guidelines!
💥

THIS NEEDS TO BE STATED AGAIN: 
PACKET PICK-UP IS VERY STRONGLY ENCOURAGED!
MANY OF OUR DEVOTED CREW MEMBERS & VOLUNTEERS ALSO RUN THESE EVENTS AND THEY NEED TIME TO PREPARE AS WELL!
PLEASE THINK OF THEM AND TRY VERY HARD TO COME TO PACKET PICK-UP THE DAY BEFORE (11/25)!

Plus, if you pick up your packets at packet pick-up, you don’t have to arrive so early on race morning. 
PPU is NOT mandatory but again, STRONGLY encouraged. 
You CAN pick up your friend’s packets (You must know their FULL name & DOB)
 
😊TIMING/AWARDS😊
Both 5k’s WILL BE TIMED & AWARDS will be given out!
But, this year there will be no awards ceremony. 
Winners will collect their awards and if desired can stand on the podiums, individually, for photos😊

😃RUN IN A HOLIDAY COSTUME!😃
(but you are not obligated to dress up)

 
😁The SWAG😁
The awesome Scoogie SWAG you get when you register for the 
Bucks County Turkey Trots:
🏃🏻‍♂️🦃🏃🏻‍♀️

😀 Register BEFORE November 2nd’s T-shirt deadline and you are guaranteed SPECIAL EDITION BUCKS COUNTY TURKEY TROTS LONG SLEEVE TECH TEE!  
😀 EVERYONE that crosses the finish line gets a HUGE FOUR INCH Bucks County Turkey Trots finisher's medal!!!!
😀 VANITY BIBS: Your name or nickname printed on your race bib!
😀 STAGGERED START & INSTANT RESULTS: 
This event will be chip timed with the chips embedded in the special edition BCTT vanity race bibs. 
We will have everyone lined up (socially distanced, with masks ON), you choose when you want to start! No pressure! There will be timing mats at the start line, therefore your time starts once you cross the start line. So no need to rush to get to the start. The start will begin at 7:45 or 9:45 with runners starting in 5 second intervals.
😊Start when you are ready😊 

You CAN take your mask off when you run (please carry it with you while running)

Your results will be EMAILED &/OR TEXTED upon crossing the finish line!

 
HOW WE WILL CREATE A SAFE YET POSITIVE & HAPPY ATMOSPHERE SO THAT EVERYONE FEELS 
COMFORTABLE AND ENJOYS THEMSELVES
💚

We all need positive vibes even more this year! 
And that’s exactly what you’ll get at the BCTT! 

😊🦃😊

The Scoogie Events CREW has very successfully produced two events in the past few months!
We take YOUR SAFETY VERY SERIOUSLY!

🐶DOG NOTE🐶 
NO DOGS ALLOWED FOR ANY OF THE 4 5K'S PLEASE (IT'S TOO NARROW TO ALLOW DOGS FOR THIS RUN)

You all know how hard that is for us...WE LOVE DOGS!! (hence our logo🐶)
    
COVID PROTOCOLS for the BCTT:

~Packet Pick-up (Wed. Nov. 25th) will be “drive-up style”. You will not need to get out of your car!
~Each 5k is limited to ONLY 100 runners! (only runners can come on race day, no spectators please)
~We will practice strict social distancing during the entire event.
~Everyone entering the venue will be required to get their temperature checked (non-contact, one second infrared thermometer)
~Masks MUST be worn at all times (except while running)
~There will be no water stations for either the Wild or Mild 5k run courses. Please plan accordingly. 
~Hand sanitizing stations will be situated throughout the race venue.
~And YES, you can be assured that the POSITIVE VIBES you’ve come to expect will be ever present at this event as well! We all need them more than ever!😊
 
WHY ARE WE ORGANIZING THIS EVENT: 

Because 2020 has been a very difficult year for so many of us and even though we are limited to such a small number of runners and it’s five times the amount of work to make this event happen, we feel that we need to give HOPE and spread some needed POSITIVITY to our faithful runners. 
And that’s EXACTLY what we plan on doing on November 26, 2020! 

Additionally, we LOVE Peace Valley Park and want to give back to them! 
They are this year’s race beneficiary and they will receive 100% of the donations generated from this event!

If you have any questions, please feel free to email to good folks at Scoogie Events and they will respond promptly. 

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WEATHER: 
This event is a rain/shine event. 
This means that if it rains (and as long as the temperature isn’t low enough to freeze any surfaces), this event IS A GO…even in the rain….”skin is waterproof😀” 
In the event that we experience bad weather such as snow or ice or any weather that would cause the course to be unsafe, we will cancel the event. 
There will be no refunds due to the fact that at this point all of the expenses for a race of this magnitude have been paid for. 
Should the COVID situation get worse and therefor we have to postpone this event, we will do so and transfer all registrations to a NEW DATE once it’s safe. Again, no refunds will be issued.

It’s important to understand that IF we need to cancel this event due to extreme weather, we will not issue any refunds and we will not reschedule the event this year.
NOTE: We do not issue any refunds, transfers or credits for any reason. We have the right to revise or cancel the race due to emergency or weather issue....(but we really hope this doesn't happen:-)

Thank you for your understanding.
