Flying Turkey 5K

The Flying Turkey 5K/2K Run/Walk is a festive event held annually at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Crown Point, Indiana. It features a chip-timed 5K run on a new course through Crown Point streets and a non-timed 2K walk around a lake. The event embraces a fun holiday atmosphere with finisher medals for the first 600 registrants, donuts, live music, and costume contests.

It supports local food pantries and welcomes participants of all ages, including strollers. Awards are given to top finishers, and early packet pickup is available. The race encourages a one-hour time limit for the 5K to minimize road closures. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
