2022 GESA Credit Union Turkey Trot Fun Run to Benefit Benton Franklin Red Cross
This Thanksgiving, the Benton Franklin Red Cross will be holding its Turkey Trot to benefit the Benton/Franklin chapter of the American Red Cross. The Turkey Trot includes a 1-mile fun run and a 5k run, both races begin at 9:00 am at the stage area of Columbia Park in Kennewick Washington (across from the playground of dreams).
Water stations will be set up in the 5K course at about the 1-mile and 2-mile markers; no water station for the 1 mile. The results of the Turkey Trot will not be recorded or published, but there will be a clock at the finish line for runners to check their time.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Where and when can I "Trot"? We are so excited to be back in person this year! If you are in the Tri-Cities, join us at Columbia Park in Kennewick on Thanksgiving morning (Thursday, November 24th). Race start is 9:00 am. If you are celebrating with us from another location, feel free to trot your own course during Thanksgiving week and post a #RedCrossTurkeyTrot2022 picture.​

Packets for Tri-City Trotters and Tri-City Trotter Teams must be picked-up in Kennewick during our designated Packet Pick-Up days (Friday, 11/18 9:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. & Saturday, 11/19 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.).

All Global Trotters will receive their mailed race bib or 2-Day FedEx registration packets during the week of November 14th.
