Celebrate the season with the 27th Annual Turkey Trot 5k, a fun and festive community tradition for participants of all ages. The event features a 5k course open to runners and walkers of all levels. A perfect way to get active and enjoy time with friends and family. For our youngest participants, the Toddler Trot offers a short, fun activity designed just for kids, creating a welcoming experience for the entire family.
Whether you are running the 5k or cheering on a toddler, the Turkey Trot is a great way to get active, connect with the community, and be part of a COCC tradition.
This year, in an effort to raise more money for student scholarships, we have made a few adjustments to how the even is operated. Our goal is to simplify event operations and direct all proceeds towards supporting COCC student scholarships while continuing to provide a fun, family-friendly Turkey Trot tradition for our community.
