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!
