Longmont Runs for Recreation Youth Scholarships!

The City of Longmont Recreation department hosts the 45th Annual Longmont Turkey Trot this year on Saturday, November 9, 2019. Going strong after 4 decades of fun, this year’s races will feature two courses: a 10K (with a wheelchair division) or a 2 mile option.

When asked what makes this race so enduring, Recreation Program Supervisor, Sara Taylor, was quick to point to the exceptional community spirit of this event, and the popularity of costumed races to get the whole family involved. “You know, with a longer course that is wheelchair inclusive, and a shorter course that is perfect for parents to run with their children, this event truly is a healthy outdoor activity with space for everyone.” Indeed, the course itself is flat and fast—something that is welcoming for beginners but still offers elite runners an opportunity to challenge their personal best.

Proceeds from the race go toward the Longmont Recreation Youth Scholarship program, offering Longmont residents 17 and under $100/year to use towards recreation activities taught by recreation staff, including swim lessons, ice skating, and more!
