Let that Thanksgiving Feast fuel some movement and support athletics programs for Pocahontas County youth!

Join us for a 5K or 10K race, or – for kids 8 & under and their parents – try out the 1K Gobble Wobble!

We will offer an in person race on November 29 AND a virtual race (Nov 1-29) for all you trotters who live far away or prefer this option!

In-Person Races: Saturday, November 29

12:00 PM – Check in begins at the Science Center (first building on the left)

1:00 PM – 10K race begins

1:15 PM – 1K “Gobble Wobble” race begins

1:30 PM – 5K race begins

Registration: You must register on Runreg: https://www.runreg.com/gbturkeytrot25

If selecting the virtual option, you will have 28 days to complete your “race” wherever you are. If you want to run the race at the Green Bank Observatory, please do. The site is open to runners and walkers – just turn your cell phone off!

As always, your participation in the Green Bank Turkey Trot supports the Pocahontas County High School track team and the William Dilley Scholarship, and we thank you so much for your support!
