TURKEY BURN 2026

NEW LOCATION!!! Freedom Park

The Annual Turkey Burn is BACK!!!! We are excited to continue the amazing tradition started for the Ramey family over 10 years ago. This year the Annual Turkey Burn will be taking place at Freedom Park in Greenwood, Indiana on Thanksgiving Day morning! Gather your family, friends and arch rivals for this fun 5k and kids run to celebrate community and family.  All proceeds raised will be going to The Refuge. The race is full of laughter, joy and of course the “Runners High” some of you speak so highly of. The kids run/walk will be before the main 5k starts and kids will get to run with our celebrity turkey who will be running alongside them. We hope to see everyone there and appreciate all the support and love.
