It is with a heavy heart that I am informing you that we must cancel the Turkey Trot 5K and ½ Mile Kid’s Fun Run. As we drove the course today, over1/3 of the surface is covered in ice. We cannot provide a consistent, safe route for the participants and due to the location we cannot use chemicals to melt the ice.
We will be refunding registered participants in the next week. We still plan on distributing race shirts and the snacks that were intended for the event. We will be in the Dakotah! Sport and Fitness gymnasium between 8:00-10:00 am. Please stop by and pick up your swag.
We thank you for your continued or new support of our race. We look forward to 2023!
This closed 5K run course takes place on the rolling hills of The Meadows at Mystic Lake Golf Course located in the Shakopee Mdwakanton Sioux Community in Prior Lake, MN. This is a great course for the first-time 5K runner, families and groups. The 5K will begin at 8am, with the Kids Fun Run beginning at roughly 8:45am. With a fun and inviting environment, this public course is perfect for first-time 5K runners, families, and groups. Grab a friend or a family member (or both!) for some friendly fitness fun!
