It’s almost time for the 19th annual Turkey Trot in downtown Oxford to benefit Area Congregations in Ministry, the local food bank in Granville County.
This fun run/walk is held on Thanksgiving morning – Thursday, Nov. 28 – and sends participants along a 2-mile route along College Street to the campus of the Masonic Home for Children in Oxford and back to Oxford United Methodist Church, the event organizer.
Admission is at two cans of food or other non-perishable item for ACIM. Monetary donations also will be accepted.
Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. in front of Oxford United Methodist Church, with welcoming remarks shortly before the 9 a.m. start.
Families are encouraged to participate and everyone is welcome! Push little ones in strollers, bring your dogs on leashes and dress up in your favorite costume to add some holiday flair.
