4th Annual Reach for the Stars Dinner


2011 Festival Foods Turkey Trot Results

Thank you to everyone who helped to make year 3 a record breaking one for the Festival Foods Turkey Trot. The Fond du Lac Race hosted a record setting 1,865 runners and walkers, nearly tripling the number of participants from 2009! Across the seven participating communities, more than 26,000 people participated in the event! Thank you to everyone for participating, and we hope to see you back for another great event in 2012.

Also, we wouldn't haven't been able to put on such an amazing event without the help of the 127 volunteers who took time away from their holiday to help with event roles. Without your support, we would not have an event at all. Thank you for all you did to help make the event great, and we hope to see you all back again next year!
