MARYVILLE, Mo. (KQTV) — The countdown is on for Maryville’s fourth annual Turkey Trot.
The Turkey Trot allows families to visit downtown Maryville and engage in a morning activity before beginning holiday festivities.
With the Turkey Trot being close to a 5K, Executive Director of Downtown Maryville, DeAnn Davison, wanted to create an easy-going environment for all participants to enjoy.
“We have families, kids, strollers, pets, everything. So it’s just really, a really low-key environment…People walk around the course, and then it’s just a quick event, and then they come home,” said Davison.
Registration for the Maryville Turkey Trot is at 7 a.m. between Fourth and Buchanan Streets, with the race beginning at 8 a.m. Interested participants can register at the event on Thursday, Nov. 27.
