Annual BGRC Great Turkey 5K Run and Gobbler 3K Walk

About the Event

38th Annual BGRC Great Turkey 5K Run and Gobbler 3K Walk

This annual family event includes a 3K Walk (7:30 am start) and 5K Run (8:00 am start) with Thanksgiving themed door prizes and awards, and it is the sole fundraiser for the Bowling Green Running Club's High School Athletics Program.

Any high schools in the following counties are eligible to apply for financial assistance through the Bowling Green Running Club:

Allen, Barren, Butler, Edmonson, Logan, Metcalfe, Ohio, Simpson, and Warren.

BGRC hopes to aid programs that don't have enough funds to adequately outfit their Track / Cross Country clubs with items such as uniforms and equipment needs. The BGRC officers and board members will review all applications and award as many as possible with the available funds generated from the annual Great Turkey 5K.

Due to participant volume and separate start / finish locations, the 5K event is a gun start / chip finish event. It is strongly recommended that 5K participants pick up their bib chip during the early packet pickup to avoid long lines the morning of the event.

Dogs are not allowed during the 5K Run or the 3K Walk.
Strollers are not allowed in the 5K run.
Your bib must be front and center on you for your time to be accurately recorded.
If you don't have a BIB on, do not run through the finish line.
