ENA Turkey Trot
For those who like to get active before a potentially immobilizing holiday meal, Madison offers several options which also double as support for nonprofits. The Birdie Derby (formerly the Berbee Derby) features a 10k run and 5k run/walk, with registration fees benefiting Tri 4 Schools; start time is 8-9 a.m. at Fitchburg Business Park. Find more info at tri4schools.org. The Turkey Trot raises funds for United Cerebral Palsy of Dane County, with a 5k run starting at 8:30 a.m. at the Alliant Center; register at wisconsinruns.com. And a more informal Turkey Trot is hosted by the Elvehjem Neighborhood Association, featuring a 5k run or 1.5 mile walk start at 8:30 a.m. at Droster Park; more info at theena.org.
media release: Get your 2024 Thanksgiving morning off to a healthy start with a little exercise! The Elvehjem Neighborhood Association is again bringing you our annual Turkey Trot.
Join us for a 5k run or 1.5-mile walk on Thanksgiving morning, or choose any time that weekend to run the route and share your time on the Elvehjem Neighborhood Facebook page. The route begins on the Droster Park pathway, but if you’re running on your own time feel free to start anywhere on the route!

Interested in helping make the event a success? We are in need of volunteers to help with providing snacks for the finish line, setting up, directing participants along the course, and cleaning up. If you are able to help please email Pete: pete@theENA.org.
