For the first 100 registrants, a complimentary race T-shirt sweetens the deal. After the race, all participants can enjoy post-race food and beverages.
The annual Turkey Trot isn’t just about community and fitness; it’s also one of St. Michael School’s key fundraisers. Proceeds from the event contribute to the school’s general operating needs. St. Michael School is recognized as one of the top fundraisers among the 15 schools in the Diocese of Rochester Catholic Schools. The community’s support and dedication play a pivotal role in enhancing the educational experience for St. Michael School students.
