Poultry in Motion; Waco Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot 5K and 1K Run/Walk

Burn those thighs before those pies! Join your fellow pilgrims on Thanksgiving Day morning for a one mile fun run and a 5K run/walk in downtown Waco! We have even added a last minute "Side Dish" option for your last minute, more reluctant buddy that doesn't want to pay full price (and maybe doesn't want to get off the couch??) And the "Spirit" of the holiday season .... all that quality family time... we have everything you need with an amazing new title sponsor this year, Bosque Spirits! Check out their two locations, one on LaSalle and one on Bosque! https://wacobarsupply.com/ And if you think just a fun run, think again!
