Did you gobble till you wobble? Work off that big meal by running into the holiday season with your friends and family at Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites’ annual Turkey Trot. Runners, walkers and even the family pup enjoy participating in this fan-favorite event!
This 5K course through Bethlehem’s Historic District and the Moravian Church Settlements–Bethlehem World Heritage Site challenges runners and competitive walkers, while a 1.7-mile fun walk and Pet Costume Contest round out the exciting day.
Highlights
All profits from the Turkey Trot support preservation and programming around three centuries of history right in our community.
