You and others will gather at the Old Courthouse Square in Santa Rosa on the one day that it's totally quiet there. The course is a flat, out-and-back on the Memorial Greenway. You can join the Turkey Trot 5k, a 5k race that you can run, jog, or walk. Whether you're a steely competitor or just looking to walk with your family, this is for you. Finish with a smile on your face! The TINY Turkey is a short run around the lawn at Old Courthouse Square for children under 5. This is a 50-yard dash that's very fun.
