Virtual Turkey Trot
This year we are offering a Virtual Turkey Trot to our friends who can't be in Parkersburg for the 2016 Turkey Trot. It is online registration only with a signup closing date two weeks before Thanksgiving Day. We'll be mailing packets out, with the official 2016 Parkersburg Turkey Trot shirt, in time for Virtual participants to run/walk 3 miles from wherever their location might be on Thanksgiving Day.
