The Anthem Turkey Trot begins Thanksgiving Day at the Anthem Community Center, located on North Freedom Way in Anthem, Arizona. Participants can opt for a timed 10K or a timed 5K run/walk. A free, non-timed half-mile dash is available for children.
This event is designed for local families and racers alike, accommodating competitive runners, walkers, casual strollers, and children. All finishers receive medals, and awards are presented to overall and age-group winners. Disposable RFID chips on bibs will be used for published results. The event also gathers non-perishable food for The St. Rose Food Pantry; donors are entered into a prize raffle.
