The holidays are coming once again! We invite you to join St Peter Lutheran School and Dig Deep Race Events for the 14th Annual running of the St Peter Turkey Trot on a flat, country road course in Hemlock to prepare you for the feasting that is to come!
Age group awards are back! And there is a big change this year for the venue as St Peter Lutheran School showcases it’s new outdoor sports facility!
The Turkey Trot consists of USATF Sanctioned 10k and 5k races that originated as a way to encourage student participation in Kids on the Run. Already successful in its own right, the event blossomed with the addition of a 10k course and local sponsors the likes of Jacques Orchard, Hemlock SemiConductor, ATS Printing, Swanhaven Manor, Fullerton Tool Company and Endurance Carbide coming on to help make this a community event.
Caramel Apples for the kids from Jacques Orchard are part of the post race goodies, as well as string cheese, strawberry goggurt, and chocolate and white milk courtesy of the United Dairy Industry of MI. Awesome T-Shirts, custom finisher medals, FREE online finisher photos, and professional timing are also included! And get this! Overall 5k and 10k male and female winners receive turkeys! Youth overall male and female winners of the 5k and 10k receive apple pies.
And of course… the drawing for the coveted Chandler’s Gift Baskets courtesy of Hemlock SemiConductor!
All proceeds from this event will benefit the students at St Peter Lutheran School, a 501c3 charitable organization.
