The Fox & The Turkey Races

The Fox & The Turkey is a Thanksgiving Day running event hosted by the Fox River Trail Runners in downtown Batavia. Celebrating its 29th year in 2025, the event features a 4-mile run and a 1-mile youth race, fostering community spirit and healthy competition. A portion of the registration fees is donated to the Batavia Interfaith Food Pantry, with past events raising significant funds to support local families in need.

This tradition not only promotes fitness but also encourages charitable giving, making it a meaningful occasion for participants and the community alike. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
