MELC Turkey Trot

The MELC Turkey Trot is a community-focused 5K Run/Walk and Kids Run taking place in Monmouth, Illinois. Celebrating its 13th annual event, participants can register for the 5K or an untimed Kids Run, with options for virtual participation as well. The event aims to raise funds for MELC, with a fundraising goal of $500.

Participants are encouraged to register early to guarantee a shirt. The course is mostly flat, starting on Broadway and finishing at the square. Awards will be given to the top finishers in the 5K, while all kids in the Kids Run receive medals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
