Tomorrow is the 24th year of the Northfield Rotary Club’s Turkey Trot. The Turkey Trot will begin at Carleton College’s Weitz Center at 9 am on Thanksgiving. The course then winds through the northeast section of town. The cost of the race is $30. Runners and walkers can sign up in person at the Weitz Center on the race day, beginning at 8 am.
Event organizer Scott Richardson described the environment of the event:
“And it’s such a collegial atmosphere. But, you know, you’ll see people. Who run into people that graduated from high school with, went to, went to elementary school with and I always said it’s kind of Facebook before Facebook” – Event Organizer Scott Richardson on the KYMN Morning Show (11/8/2024)
The funds from the event go to support the Rotary Exchange program.
For teams who registered early, t-shirt pickup is tonight from 5:30pm to 7pm at the Weitz Center. The Rotary Club asks that teams pick up their shirts early to help reduce congestion ahead of the race.
