We are SO EXCITED to have you and your family join us for the Amherst Junior Women's Club 20th Annual Trot Off Your Turkey 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run, the 4th race in the 2020 Toyota of Nashua Gate City Series! This year we are going virtual. Our Turkey is taking a GAP YEAR in 2020 and all racers will run or walk on the day of their choosing in November. That's right!! Covid-19 may have narrowed some of your choices but for this race, this year it means more choices. You pick your day (in November), you pick your 5K course and you pick who's running within 6 feet of you.
This event is family friendly and sure to be a great time for all. On-line registration is open.
Starting November 1st, you can return to this page to enter where you are running and your net time.
We hope to see your pictures and your times posted on our FaceBook page to share with theTOYT community.
