Upcoming Events
Wichita Turkey Trot 2024
The Wichita Turkey Trot is a tradition like no other! On Saturday, November 23rd, join thousands of Wichitans for either a 2-mile or 10-mile race.
Race attendees are also invited to bring a jar of peanut butter to donate for the Kansas Food Bank – in 2023, we collected 845 pounds of peanut butter and over $3,000 to help feed hungry Kansans thanks to the generosity of the runners and their families, and look forward to doing it all again this November.
Registration for this year’s race is officially OPEN! Don’t forget to sign up, and bring your peanut butter at packet pickup or on race day. You can also make a donation for the Kansas Food Bank at registration, with 100% of the donation going to the Kansas Food Bank.
Click here to register today.
