As you sprint through the picturesque routes, you’ll enjoy the spirit of community and camaraderie while supporting a great cause, as proceeds benefit the charitable work of the Peru Lions Club.

Make sure to arrive early for bib pickup, which starts at 7:45 am, and be prepared for all outdoor activities — some weather protection will be provided for your comfort.

Awards will be presented to the top three male and female finishers in both races, making it a competitive yet friendly environment. With route adjustments made to enhance the runner experience, this year’s Turkey Trot promises to be an unforgettable event.

Join the Peru community in making a difference while having a blast — your participation directly supports vital community services.
